EXAPS has confirmed that its recent offer of twelve months’ free membership for Cyprus - based businesses has generated significant interest, with applications received across multiple sectors.
The response has reinforced what the organisation set out to address - a clear demand for a more structured, transparent, and trustworthy network of professionals supporting individuals and families relocating to Cyprus.
While a number of businesses have already been accepted into the alliance, not all applications have been successful. EXAPS has maintained its position that entry into the network must be earned, not given, with all applicants required to meet internal standards and formally agree to the EXAPS Code of Conduct.
This approach, although selective, remains central to the long-term credibility of the platform.
A Short Extension - With a Fixed Deadline
In light of the level of interest, EXAPS has taken the decision to extend the opportunity for a further seven days.
This extension will run until 8 May 2026, after which the offer will close.
It is not a full reopening, but a final window for businesses operating within specific sectors where availability remains. These include real estate, legal services, immigration and relocation, and tax and accountancy.
The intention is to ensure that the network develops with balanced, high-quality representation across the core services most relied upon by individuals moving abroad.
Once these remaining positions are filled, or the deadline is reached, standard membership terms will apply.
Maintaining Standards Over Volume
Despite the increased demand, EXAPS has not relaxed its onboarding criteria.
Every business seeking to join the alliance continues to be assessed against its ability to meet expected standards of professionalism, transparency, and client care. Acceptance into EXAPS is not simply about eligibility - it is about alignment.
This ensures that those joining the network are not only visible to potential clients, but are also part of a collective reputation built on trust.
Full Membership - Without the Risk
The extended offer continues to provide successful applicants with full access to EXAPS membership for a period of twelve months, entirely free of charge.
There are no contracts attached, no automatic renewal at the end of the period, and no obligation to continue beyond the initial term. Businesses are able to engage with the platform, assess its value, and decide on continuation entirely on their own terms.
Each accepted business will receive a formal Certificate of Membership for their office, alongside a welcome pack and official EXAPS window decals. These elements are designed to provide both physical and visible confirmation of their place within a trusted professional network.
As before, the offer applies to one office location per company, ensuring fairness and consistency during this early phase of expansion.
Positioning at the Right Time
The broader context behind the initiative remains unchanged. Cyprus continues to attract individuals and families from overseas, many of whom are navigating unfamiliar systems and seeking reliable guidance across multiple professional services.
In this environment, visibility alone is no longer enough. The ability to demonstrate trust, transparency, and accountability at the outset is becoming increasingly important.
EXAPS is positioning itself at this intersection - connecting those relocating with professionals who are willing to stand behind clear standards.
For businesses, the opportunity lies not just in being present within the network, but in being part of it early. As the platform develops, those who have established their position from the outset are likely to benefit from stronger visibility, reduced competition, and greater recognition within their respective sectors.
A Final Opportunity to Apply
This extension represents the final opportunity for businesses to join EXAPS under these terms.
With demand already proven and availability now limited to specific sectors, the remaining places are expected to be filled quickly ahead of the 8 May 2026 deadline.
Businesses that wish to be considered can apply by contacting:
All applications will be reviewed in line with the EXAPS standard, and only those meeting the required criteria will be accepted.
