Unaccompanied Minor Migrants in Cyprus Drop Below 350 Amid Enhanced Controls
The number of unaccompanied minor migrants in Cyprus has fallen to fewer than 350, down from around 1,100 before the establishment of the Deputy Ministry of Migration. This significant reduction is attributed to decreased irregular flows and improved management of accommodation facilities.
Enhanced controls have been implemented in the housing structures, with police granted access to address any delinquent behavior promptly, which has reportedly declined. Fast-track return procedures are employed when necessary, and asylum seekers who arrived as minors but are now adults are prioritized for examination.
Starting January 1, 2026, the Deputy Ministry will oversee the management of these centers. Current housing is provided by organizations like Hope for Children and MetAction, accommodating minors in smaller facilities near urban centers to ensure access to essential services such as schools and hospitals, in compliance with national and European laws.
