Residence Permit in Cyprus

Advantages, Requirements & Application Process

Cyprus is one of the most comfortable and safest countries in Europe for living, investing, and doing business.
With its mild climate, stable economy, and transparent legal system, the island has become one of the most popular destinations for obtaining a Residence Permit (Temporary or Permanent) among citizens of Europe and the CIS.

Benefits of Obtaining Cyprus Residency

• Visa-free stay on the island with the right of free entry and exit.
• Legal residence for the entire family — spouse, children under 25, and parents.
• No requirement for permanent residence — visiting Cyprus once every two years is sufficient.
• Eligibility for Permanent Residency and citizenship in the future.
• Access to high-quality European-level healthcare and education.
• Low taxes, transparent legislation, and a high level of safety.

Residency Through Real Estate Investment

The most popular and fastest way to obtain a residence permit in Cyprus is through property investment.
The Permanent Residency Program (Category F / PR) is typically approved within 2–3 months.

Key requirements:

• Purchase of new property worth at least €300,000 + VAT;
• Proof of stable income outside Cyprus (e.g. business, rental income, or salary);
• Proof of financial solvency (bank balance of at least €30,000);
• Valid medical insurance policy;
• Clean criminal record.

Permanent Residency is granted indefinitely, with the resident card renewable every 10 years.
