Permanent residency of Cyprus can also be obtained by:
Investment in new residential real estate Purchase a new immovable property valued at least €300,000 plus VAT. It can be one or two residential properties for the above amount, and you can also purchase property from different development companies. It is important that the first foreign investment of €200,000 must be paid by the date of filing the application. You should deposit at least €30,000 into a Cypriot bank for a minimum of three years and attach evidence of secured annual income abroad of at least €30,000. For each additional dependent family member, this sum is increased by €5,000 or €8,000 for each parent. Please keep in mind that to get Cyprus permanent residency, your purchase must be a “first-time sale.” This means that it was bought for the first time. If everything is done in a proper manner, the Civil Registry and Migration Department will grant the Cyprus permanent resident permit. The minimum amount of investments in residential and non-residential properties – €300,000
Investment in non-residential real estate This option requires purchasing a new or used immovable office, hotel, shop, or other developments up to 250 sqm, providing that the total value is no less than €300,000 plus VAT. Whatever you choose, it’s up to you. An applicant can also make a so-called mix by buying a few types of commercial properties, but the quantity should not exceed two units. The good news is also that it shouldn’t be a “first-time sale.” It is important that the first €200,000 must be paid by the date of filing of the application. In addition, you should deposit at least €30,000 into a Cypriot bank for a minimum of three years and attach evidence of secured annual income from abroad of at least €30,000. If everything is done in a proper manner, the Civil Registry and Migration Department will grant the Cyprus permanent resident permit.
Investment in a Cyprus company Purchase shares in a Cypriot company or establish a new business yourself and invest in the share capital. A minimum of five local employees is required, and you should maintain employment for them. It is important that the company should have a proven physical presence.
Acquisition of shares in investment funds in Cyprus Purchase units for at least €300,000 in the Cyprus Investment Funds Association’s collective investments (AIF, AIFLNP, RAIF). If everything is done in a proper manner, the Civil Registry and Migration Department will grant the Cyprus permanent resident permit.
