The Cyprus Permanent Residency by Investment program, also known as the Cyprus Golden Visa, offers the opportunity to obtain permanent residency in Cyprus in exchange for qualified investments. To participate, investors must commit a minimum of EUR 300,000 into real estate, shares of Cypriot companies, or investment funds.
The program allows applicants to include their spouse and children up to 25 years old, making investment residency an attractive solution for the whole family. Cyprus residency status is granted indefinitely and requires only one visit to the island every two years to maintain it. The entire process of obtaining permanent residency through investment in Cyprus takes from 9 months, making it one of the fastest programs in Europe.
The Cyprus Golden Visa grants permanent residency immediately upon application approval, without the need for prior temporary residence. The process takes from 9 months.
To maintain Cyprus residency status, it is enough to visit the island just once every two years—ideal for investors not planning to live there permanently.
The Cyprus PR by Investment program allows inclusion of a spouse and children up to 25 years old. Children aged 18–25 may also be included if they are unmarried and financially dependent on the main applicant.
After 7 years of residency, investors can apply for Cypriot citizenship by naturalization and gain access to an EU passport with all its benefits.
Residents who spend fewer than 183 days per year in Cyprus pay no tax on worldwide income. The corporate tax rate is only 12.5%—one of the lowest in the EU.
