Cyprus Residence by Investment
To qualify for permanent residency in Cyprus under the Cyprus Golden Visa Program, applicants must meet specific investment and personal criteria.
The first requirement is to choose one of the following investment options:
Purchase up to two new residential properties with a total market value of at least EUR 300,000 plus VAT, or
Purchase up to two new or used non-residential properties, such as offices, shops, or hotels, with a total value of at least EUR 300,000 plus VAT.
Alternatively, applicants can invest EUR 300,000 in a physical company based in Cyprus that employs at least five people, or in units of the Cyprus Investment Funds Association’s collective investments.
We offer exclusive opportunities designed to help you meet the residency requirements with ease. Our tailored solutions simplify the process, ensuring you can fulfill the necessary criteria efficiently and without hassle.
The Cyprus Golden Visa Program offers several benefits to successful applicants. The process is highly efficient, with a high approval rate for those who meet all criteria. Residency applies to the main applicant’s spouse and children under the age of 25, and dependents can be enrolled in high-quality private schools that offer English language courses. Additionally, applicants are not required to reside in Cyprus, but they must visit the country at least once every two years. Biometric capturing is required, but the entire process can be arranged without being physically present in Cyprus.
Successful applicants may also be eligible to apply for Cypriot citizenship after five years of continuous residence. Applicants must also provide proof of a secured annual income of at least EUR 50,000, with an additional EUR 15,000 for a spouse and EUR 10,000 for each minor child. A clear criminal record certificate is required every three years for all adult dependents, along with a non-employment statement (unless the applicant is a director in the invested company).
The processing time for a Cyprus Golden Visa is approximately two months. Once approved, applicants must annually provide proof of maintaining their investment and health insurance if they are not covered by the General Healthcare System. Income from abroad may include employment salaries, rent, pensions, interests on deposits, and dividends from shares, ensuring flexibility in fulfilling the income requirements.
