 Pafos Live 29 April 2024



A total of 181 third-country nationals who were illegally present in Cyprus were returned to their countries last week through forced and voluntary return procedures.

Nine of the above persons returned to their country in the context of a joint forced return flight of the FRONTEX Agency, carried out last Thursday, April 25, by the Greek authorities. This flight is the fifth joint forced-return flight of FRONTEX, in which the Cyprus Police participates in 2024.

It is worth noting that from the beginning of 2024, until today, 3763 persons residing illegally in Cyprus have been deported or repatriated to their countries of origin.
