Overview: What Is Cyprus Residency by Investment?
Applying for Permanent Residency (PR) by Investment in Cyprus is an excellent alternative to Citizenship by Investment. PR by Investment has a lower investment threshold and offers a fast track application process of not more than two months, with an investment of as little as EU 300,000 in property and EU 30,000 in bank deposits. Unlike some Golden Visa program in Europe, the applicant and his/her family will be granted direct Permanent Residency via the Cyprus residency by investment program.
Cyprus immigration rules also convey many of the benefits of citizenship to Permanent Residents, such as freedom of movement around the EU and the ability for family members to apply.
