Updated Investment Criteria

To qualify for the Cyprus PR program, applicants must invest at least €300,000 plus VAT in approved assets. Eligible options include new residential properties purchased directly from developers, commercial real estate such as offices, shops, or hotels, shares in a Cyprus-registered company that employs at least five people, or participation in regulated investment funds like AIF, AIFLNP, or RAIF. These routes allow flexibility while supporting key sectors of the Cypriot economy.

Income and Residency Conditions

Under the 2023 regulations, applicants must maintain specific income levels sourced from abroad: €50,000 per year for the main applicant, €15,000 for a spouse, and €10,000 for each dependent child. Parents and in-laws are no longer recognised as dependents. Successful applicants must also maintain a property in Cyprus, visit the island at least once every two years, and submit annual proof of income to preserve their residency status. These measures ensure transparency and alignment with the program’s high standards.

Program Advantages

Cyprus remains a preferred destination for investors seeking long-term stability and European access. The PR program offers indefinite validity, straightforward compliance, and the freedom to link residency to real estate holdings, business interests, or investment funds. The island’s 12.5% corporate tax rate and the Non-Dom regime create a competitive tax environment, while the lifestyle, safety, and climate make it ideal for families and entrepreneurs alike.

Schengen Prospects and Next Steps

Cyprus is preparing to join the Schengen Zone by 2026, a move that will enhance the value of permanent residency by granting visa-free mobility across much of Europe. This integration strengthens Cyprus’s position as a strategic European gateway for international investors. Those considering the program are encouraged to begin preparations early.
