• Permanent Residency in Cyprus

The Republic of Cyprus occupies the southern part of the island of Cyprus in the eastern Mediterranean. Cyprus is the third largest island in the Mediterranean and the full member of the EU. It is known for its beaches, warm and stable weather, excellent quality of life, and one of the lowest taxation rates in Europe.

 

In line with the Cyprus government’s intent to attract international investments, the Ministry of Interior has recently simplified the procedure for issuing permanent residence permits to non-EU nationals who wish to invest in Cyprus. A permanent residency can be obtained through purchasing property in Cyprus.

After the expiration of this period, the money will be released without restrictions.
