1The observation, as this site stores it

Observation ID

44656

Indicator

Asylum applications, total

What is counted

Persons who lodged an application for international protection with the Cypriot determining authority in the reference calendar year, all applicant types combined (first-time and subsequent). The undelying statistical unit is an application EVENT, not a person: one person may lodge more than one application in a year. Table migr_asyappctza, applicant=TOTAL.

Statistical concept

Flow of asylum applications lodged during the calendar year (Regulation (EC) No 862/2007)

Geography

Cyprus (country)

Period

2020 (2020-01-01 to 2020-12-31)

Age band

Total (TOTAL)
Age at application, as published by Eurostat in migr_asyappctza: TOTAL, two disjoint under-18 bands (Y_LT14, Y14-17), one OVERLAPPING super-band (Y_LT18 = their sum), two further disjoint adult bands (Y18-34, Y35-64), one open band (Y_GE65), and UNK. A DIFFERENT codelist from migr_pop1ctz's 5-year bands and from every CYSTAT age scheme -- always scope by scheme_id.

Nationality

Democratic Republic of the Congo (CD)
Citizenship of Cyprus asylum applicants, as published by Eurostat in migr_asyappctza. 206 declared codes, 79 ever non-zero for Cyprus (75 individual countries plus TOTAL, EXT_EU27_2020, STLS and UNK) -- verified live 2026-08-28, correcting docs/ROADMAP.md which previously said 77. This codelist has NO historical entities (no USSR, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, Serbia-and-Montenegro): RS (Serbia), ME (Montenegro), XK (Kosovo*) and PS (Palestine*) are current entries instead. A DIFFERENT codelist from eurostat-citizen-aggregate (migr_pop1ctz, aggregate-only, includes historical membership-vintage groups like EU27_2007 that do not exist here) and from every CYSTAT citizenship scheme -- always scope queries by this scheme_id (see the HO-141 lesson in docs/ROADMAP.md: code "3" means Greece in one role=nationality scheme and non-EU citizens in another).

Sex

Total (T)
T/M/F/UNK as published by Eurostat in migr_asyappctza. Verified live 2026-08-28: T = M + F + UNK holds exactly for Cyprus 2024 (9,185 = 6,850 + 2,285 + 50). A separate scheme from eurostat-demo-pjan-sex and from every CYSTAT sex scheme (different publisher table, different codes carried) -- always scope by scheme_id.
