Cyprus client reviews
Reviews of Cyprus from the shared BRIDGES database.
AlexanderBRIDGES clientMy wife and I were obtaining permanent residence and wanted to include our son—he's 22 and studies in Prague. We learned that an adult can be included, but only as a student dependent until age 25.
Read the case
SergejInvestorI obtained lifetime Cyprus Permanent Residence Permit, and then the factory consumed all my time, and I was unable to travel to the island for over two and a half years. The status was revoked for missed visits - despite the fact that my apartment remained there and I paid taxes. I thought I would need to start anew.
Read the case
DmitryBRIDGES clientMy money is legitimate, but the foundation of my wealth was laid back in the 1990s - and try to prove after thirty years where it came from. Documents from that era are scattered, some in archives.
