02 / In plain words

What Family members in Cyprus PR means

Dependent family members in Cyprus PR are the people who receive permanent residence together with the investor. The main application covers the applicant, the spouse and children under 18, and one €300,000 investment is enough for all of them.

The applicant's €50,000 annual income is increased by €15,000 for the spouse and €10,000 for each child under 18. Students aged 18-25 (unmarried, at a university abroad, dependent on their parents) file their own application, and the parents need €10,000 more income. Adult financially independent children require a separate investment and their own income from €50,000.

The parents of the applicant and spouse are not part of investment PR. If a child travels with only one parent, the other parent's consent signed before a Cyprus consul is required. A child or spouse can also be added later to a permit already issued, for €50 + €70.

A simple example

A family: husband, wife, a 10-year-old son and a 21-year-old daughter studying at a university in Europe. One main application for three, a separate one for the daughter. Income needed: €50,000 + €15,000 + €10,000 + €10,000 = €85,000. One investment of €300,000.

When family make-up matters

  • Calculating income and budget at the consultation
  • Deciding how many applications to file
  • Collecting documents for each family member
  • The other parent's consent for a child
  • Adding a new family member after PR

04 / How it works

How to include the family

Step 1

Make-up

At the consultation we decide who goes in the main application and who files separately.

Step 2

Income

We calculate the required income: €50,000 + €15,000 + €10,000 per child.

Step 3

Documents

Marriage and birth certificates, police certificates, the other parent's consent before a consul.

Step 4

Filing

The main application and the students' applications go in together.

Step 5

Cards

Each family member gives biometrics and receives their own card.

05 / Key facts

What matters

01Spouse

In the main application

Shares the same investment, +€15,000 income. Can also get a separate permit with an own application and fee.

02Students 18-25

Own application

Unmarried, at a university abroad, dependent. Own fee €500 + €70, a university letter, +€10,000 income for the parents.

03Adult children

Own investment

With one independent child you need €600,000, with two - €900,000, and each needs their own income from €50,000.

04Parental consent

Before a consul only

Without the other parent's consent signed before a Cyprus consul, the child cannot be included.

Common mistakes

Adding parents to the application

Parents are not part of investment PR. We find them another residence permit, for example for financially independent persons.

Having the consent signed by an ordinary notary

The consent must be signed before a Cyprus consul. Book the consulate in advance.

Leaving a student out of the income

Each student aged 18-25 adds €10,000 to the parents' required income.

06 / Expert advice

How to prepare in advance

Check marriage and birth certificates and passport validity. If a child travels without the other parent, book the Cyprus consulate for the consent signature right away.

What we do for you. We decide who goes in the main application, calculate income, prepare documents for each person and book the consent signature at the consulate.
