Then when I was at university, my parents received a letter saying if I wanted to apply for Cypriot citizenship. My parents said no (I was in the UK) on my behalf as at the time it would have meant carrying out civil defense obligations.

I was not a non-resident. And yes, women do civil defense, men do military service.

Also false that non-residents (i.e., Cypriot expats) are exempt. It has been ruled in as a possibility. http://cyprus-mail.com/2015/01/15/cyprus-to-face-eu-sanctions-if-house-fails-to-pass-mixed-parent-army-law/ …

That's the current law. So yes, now I am eligible. Bingo.

Read about that law change on page 396: "This last ‘bastion’ was formally abolished with an amendment of the citizenship law in 1999 (No. 65/99), which introduced entitlement to citizenship for descendants of a Cypriot mother and a non-Cypriot father"

That law change is when I became automatically eligible.
