A fast-track, unlimited-validity permanent residence permit for non-EU nationals who make a qualifying investment in Cyprus (for example residential or commercial property, company share capital, or investment fund units). This is separate from the citizenship-by-investment programme that Cyprus terminated in 2020.
Third-country nationals willing to make a qualifying investment in Cyprus and their eligible family members.
Our licensed advisors assess your eligibility, build a strategy to strengthen your application, and manage the process end to end, so you submit a complete, competitive application with confidence.
It does not grant citizenship directly, but living in Cyprus on the status can build toward eligibility for naturalisation over time, subject to separate residence and language conditions.
Holders are generally not permitted to take up paid employment in Cyprus, although they may own a Cyprus company and receive dividends from it.
Your spouse and minor children are covered under the same investment, and adult children aged 18-25 can be added if they are financially dependent and in full-time education, but parents and in-laws are not eligible under the current rules.
This is a fast-track, unlimited-validity permanent residence permit for non-EU nationals who make a qualifying investment of at least EUR 300,000 in Cyprus. It grants residence, not citizenship — and is separate from the citizenship-by-investment programme Cyprus ended in 2020.
Typical pitfalls are underestimating the secured annual income requirement, failing to prove funds came from abroad, choosing a property below the threshold, and submitting unapostilled or untranslated supporting documents.
You must make a qualifying investment of at least EUR 300,000 in one of the approved categories: new residential property, the share capital of a Cyprus company with real physical presence and staff, or units of a Cyprus-regulated investment fund.
You do not need to live in Cyprus full time, but the permit can be lost if you stay outside Cyprus for a long continuous period (commonly two years), so periodic visits are required.
