Why Cyprus

Cyprus grants permanent residency for life against a €300,000 investment in new residential property, commercial property or Cypriot funds, plus proof of income. It is a permanent status rather than a permit to renew, and leads towards citizenship with actual residence.

At a glance
  • Permanent status, not a permit
  • Visit once every two years
  • EU member state
  • Citizenship possible with residence

How it works.

One team from the first call to approval. Timings vary by program; Cyprus typically takes 6–9 months.

Eligibility check

A confidential 30‑minute call. We assess your profile, family and goals, and confirm Cyprus is the right fit.

02

Cost plan and documents

A written all‑in figure — investment, government fees, due diligence and our fees — and a document list we prepare with you.

03

Submission and vetting

We file with the government unit and handle every query while your application is vetted.

04

Approval and permit

On approval in principle you complete the investment. We arrange biometrics and the residence card, and stay on for renewals.
