FAQ - Cyprus Permanent Residency by Investment
Cyprus Permanent Residency by Investment is a government-regulated fast-track residence route under Regulation 6(2) that allows eligible non-EU nationals and qualifying family members to obtain permanent residence in Cyprus through an approved investment and satisfaction of the relevant financial criteria.
The minimum qualifying investment is €300,000. Under the official framework, this may be made in a new house or apartment, other qualifying real estate, the share capital of a Cyprus company with substance and personnel, or units in an eligible Cyprus investment fund.
Not in every case. A new residential property is one of the most commonly used routes, but the official policy also allows other forms of qualifying investment, including commercial real estate, investment into a Cyprus company, or units in a Cyprus collective investment organization, provided the applicable conditions are met.
The principal applicant must demonstrate a secure annual income of at least €50,000. This threshold increases by €15,000 for a spouse and €10,000 for each dependent minor child. Depending on the investment route, the rules on the source of income differ, so the file should be structured carefully.
The permit covers the main applicant, the spouse, and dependent children under the age of 18. Unmarried children aged 18 to 25 who are financially dependent and studying abroad may submit a separate linked application, subject to the relevant conditions and additional income requirements. Adult children beyond that may also qualify in certain cases through a higher-value investment structure.
Yes. The holder of the permit must visit Cyprus at least once every two years in order to maintain the status. This is one of the key practical advantages of the Cyprus permanent residency framework for internationally mobile families.
As a rule, the applicant and spouse must confirm that they do not intend to undertake employment in Cyprus. An exception applies in certain structures where the applicant invests in a Cyprus company and may serve in a permitted director capacity under the policy.
Under the official policy, the estimated examination period for a complete application is approximately two months from submission. In practice, the overall timeline may also depend on document collection, investment completion, and appointment logistics.
Permanent residency is not the same as citizenship, but it may form part of a longer-term relocation strategy. Separate legal residence and naturalization rules apply to citizenship, and eligibility depends on meeting the statutory residence and legal conditions in force at the relevant time.
Applications are submitted to the Migration Department in Cyprus, either in person or through an authorized representative, together with the required forms, certified documentation, and evidence of the qualifying investment and lawful source of funds. A structured and well-prepared file is essential for an efficient review.
