Special Mark and Registration Number for a Self-Catering Accommodation – Application

This service allows a natural or legal person to apply to the Deputy Ministry of Tourism to register a villa, house or apartment in the register of self-catering accommodation. The applicant may be the owner acting as the business operator, or an authorised user authorised by the owner. If the owner is declared as the business operator, no authorisation is submitted.

Before starting the online application, the applicant must have these documents in electronic PDF format: (1) the building’s title deed and/or building permit and/or planning permit for the accommodation type (the letter—first page); (2) a recent Electricity Authority of Cyprus (EAC) bill for that accommodation; and (3) a photocopy of an identity card or passport or a certificate of incorporation of a legal person, depending on what is declared in the application as the business operator. (4) The owner’s signed authorisation for the authorised user is required only where the business operator is someone other than the owner; if the owner is a legal person, the authorisation must also bear that legal person’s stamp. The authorisation form is available at the end of the online application, under the “attachments” paragraph.

The applicant completes the form using “Proceed to Application”, prints and signs it and, for a legal person, also has it stamped with the legal person’s stamp. The applicant then converts the application to PDF, uploads it to the website together with the applicable documents 1.1–1.4, and selects “SUBMIT”. The total number of documents submitted is 5, or 4 if the applicant is the accommodation owner. For reference, the application number is the 10-digit number entered in the “Electricity Authority of Cyprus Premises Number” field.
