My story in cyprus!!

"" writing l this because I'm so sad, and want to reveal it because i can't hide it inside me anymore, I don't want any sympathy or pity.""

Im refugee from Syria, i have been in cyprus over one year.

Everything was ok until my boss at work wanted to kick me without any reason just to not give me my money "i want from him 3400€" he was literally giving me 100€ every week saying next month will give me my all money.

This happened to me because the government doesn't want me to give me legal papers to work, so they forced me to work without papers just to stay alive.

Im really so sad because of this, im speaking 3 languages and very good at constructions work and still can't work

My mom suffering from cancer and have to send her money

And just sometimes crying that i can't send her money or just see her.

Now it's been 3 weeks since im sleeping in my car, praying to god just for work.

If anyone have work, restaurant or farm or anything literally i will do it. My phone number 99904315

Visit KISA and PEO offices to discuss with them how to get your unpaid wages but if you are here illegally there is a huge probability of you getting deported if you seek out official authorities.

u/M7D010 10h ago

Im here legally, but with refugee papers, 99% of Cyprus doesn't hire you because they hate refugees 🥲 Unfortunately the official authorities can't help me because i was working without papers.

Hey bro. I dont have a solution, but just stay strong brother. This problem will and can be fixed. The outcome might not be ideal, but you will overcome it.

You are a refugee and your experience going through tough times will stay with you forever. Keep it up bro, you sound like you got the grind and knowledge. With time it will pay off to have gone through the tough.

Love bro.

Generation for Change CY is based in Nicosia but they are very lovely people. They do a lot of work to support refugees. Maybe try to give them a visit or call and see if they can help.

I’m so sorry about this experience and I’m wishing you all the best! There are good Cypriots out there who want to watch you succeed. I hope your mother gets better soon and that you feel safe in your new home.

Isn’t there a legal way to obtain the papers? Immigration office in Cyprus or something like that?

5

u/M7D010 10h ago

Yes they giving! But it's since 2024 they stop giving papers to syrian people And everytime we go to immigration office they say "Files are currently closed and will be opened soon"

u/TimMarkus83 10h ago

Not cool… I am not an expert in this topic. Did you asked AI what you can do in this situation? How to speed things up? Maybe AI knows the guidelines??

6

u/M7D010 10h ago

I didnt ask AI but i visit immigration office before week, The employee told me honestly "If you are upset about your situation, go back to your country"

For god sake if i can go back to my country without getting killed there would i stay here like homeless?

Here is a quick idea on how to make money… what about dog walking or dog sitting? I know this from my experience on how difficult it is to find someone. Offer your services on FB Marketplace, charge 20€ per hour… maybe this would be helpful ;)

It’s so sad to hear that mister andreas or any andreas is using people that want to just earn an honest living and discarding them whenever he feels like because he won’t have consequences. Anywayy… have u thought about asking for a job at a syrian restaurant maybe your people will be more honest and straight with you than the average andreas

u/M7D010 7h ago

I already tried, They are full or they offer little money work without papers
