- For what
- An investment in real estate from €300,000
- Advantage
- Obtained quickly, a permanent status
- Keep in mind
- It is PR, not citizenship; Cyprus is not yet in Schengen
- Can you prepare
- Yes: choose a property and evidence your income
In plain words
Cyprus permanent residence for financially independent persons is a permanent residence permit based on a stable income from abroad. The conditions, timelines and requirements on family composition are checked for the specific situation.
The key advantages are speed and stability: the status is obtained relatively quickly and issued indefinitely (subject to the conditions), without requiring permanent residence on the island. Besides the real estate investment, a stable foreign income must be evidenced. Cyprus is attractive for its climate, English in the business environment and its status as an EU member.
It is important to understand the nuances: this is PR, not citizenship — no passport is issued under this programme, and the path to naturalisation requires separate conditions and time. In addition, Cyprus is not yet part of the Schengen area, although it is moving towards joining. We help choose a suitable property, evidence your income and obtain the status, and plan the next steps.
