Cyprus, historically, has been an island with a high geopolitical value, as it is situated at the crossroads of Europe, Africa and Middle East (MENA). Its rich and complex history is marked by periods of foreign rule and internal conflicts, something that is reflected in the culture, the current domestic and foreign policies, internal and external relations and population movements in the region. From EU Nationals, digital nomads, expats, golden visas, work visas (including domestic, construction and agricultural workers) to seekers of international protection and trafficking victims, Cyprus has a wide migratory demographic tapestry.
