**Can I apply for the acquisition of Cypriot citizenship by naturalization as a highly qualified employee in a company specified by the Council of Ministers Decision No. 92.018 and dated 15/10/2021?
**In accordance with the provisions of article 111B(2) of the Civil Registry Law, EU Blue Card holders who are employed by an employer that falls within the Strategy for attracting companies to establish and/or expand their activities in Cyprus will benefit from the amendments concerning highly qualified employed persons for the acquisition of Cypriot citizenship by naturalization. Therefore, at least for the time being, this provision will not apply in cases where the individual falls into the category of highly skilled employees according to immigration legislation, but not his employer, as per the provisions of the Strategy.
