1. Overview
1. Overview
Under EU rules, you have the right to travel together with your core family members (non-EU spouse, children, dependent parents or dependent grandparents) to an EU country other than the one you are a national of. If you have moved to another EU country, they can also join you there. These rules also apply to your non-EU registered partner if the country they are travelling to considers registered partnerships as equivalent to marriage.
Other non-EU extended family members - such as siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles, as well as your non-EU registered partner (in countries where registered partnerships are not considered as equivalent to marriage) - may under certain conditions be entitled to have their entry facilitated when travelling together with you of when joining you in another EU country. EU countries do not automatically have to grant this right but they do at least have to consider the request.
Your non-EU family members must carry a valid passport at all times and, depending on the country they are from, they may also have to show an entry visa at the border.
There are a number of countries (see Annex II) whose nationals do not need a visa to visit the EU for three months or less. The list of countries whose nationals require visas to travel to the United Kingdom or Ireland differs slightly from other EU countries.
Contact the consulate or embassy of the country you are travelling to well in advance to find out which documents your non-EU family member will be asked to present at the border.

Those intending to travel outside the Republic of Cyprus and are male persons of Cypriot descent or citizenship, aged 16 to 26, who have not fulfilled their military obligations and reside in Cyprus, are required to obtain an exit permit for their departure from the Republic of Cyprus. Interested parties should contact their local Conscription Offices or Citizen Service Centres. Those who have fulfilled their military obligations by the age of 26 are required to produce, upon their departure from the Republic of Cyprus, a 'B' certificate, which can be obtained from the Conscription Offices, or Military Discharge Papers from the National Guard.

Males of Cypriot descent or citizenship, aged between 16 and 26, who permanently reside abroad and who are visiting the Republic of Cyprus, must obtain an exit permit from the Conscription Office or the Citizen Service Centre of the town they are staying in, for their departure from the Republic. Those who have permanent resident status in a foreign country can use the document issued by the Ministry of Defence, whereby they were granted exemption from military service and which acts as a permanent exit permit.

The application for the aforementioned exemption for Permanent Residents of a Foreign Country may be submitted by interested parties after the completion of their 18th year of age, directly to local Conscription Offices or to the Ministry of Defence, or through the Embassy or Consulate of the Republic of Cyprus in the country where they reside.
