You likely don't need this permit

Citizens of the EU, the EEA and Switzerland (called 'Union citizens') can live and work in Cyprus for more than three months without a work permit, as long as they have a valid ID card or passport, enough money and full health insurance. They apply for a registration certificate (MEU1) within four months of entering Cyprus.

Every report is personal: a document check is built from one person's own answers and documents, so two people on this route can get different results. Run your own check rather than relying on a friend's or relative's; each person is responsible for their own application.
