Cyprus Residency by Investment

The Cyprus Residency by Investment program remains in place which allows successful applicants and their families to get a Cyprus immigration permit with an unlimited duration in approximately two months. An investor who successfully obtains residency may then apply for Cyprus citizenship after five years of residing in the country as a holder of such a permit.

To qualify the applicant must invest at least €300.000 in one of the following categories:

  • Buy a residential brand-new property.
  • Purchase commercial properties.
  • Invest in Cyprus Company’s share capital.
  • Invest in Units of Cyprus Investment Organization of Collective Investments (forms of AIF, AIFLNP, RAIF)

 

There are several other conditions to qualify for the above which we would be happy to set out should you be interested.

Remote work

Digital Nomad Visa Scheme

With a Council of Ministers decisions on 15 October 2021 Cyprus adopted the Digital Nomad Visa Scheme which is a remote work policy used across the European Union to promote “teleworking for third-country nationals”.

The digital nomad is a phenomenon tied to the global market, the current mobile lifestyle, the use of technology, and “residential tourism” or “business tourism”. Digital nomads are in search for both freedom and meaningful work.

Cyprus keeps up with the latter trend, strengthening its position further as an electronic services provider.
