The Investment program of Cyprus is no longer valid for those who seek citizenship but you may still get the permanent residency of Cyprus by investing in real estate. Let’s look at two projects you may enter now before construction is over for a good price. And mind that the deadline for processing applications for those wishing to apply for a residency permit in Cyprus is about 2 months (the deadline may be longer due to the pandemic).
What are the requirements and benefits of the Permanent Residency of Cyprus?
The Cyprus Fast Track Permanent Residence Permit applies to the applicant’s spouse and his unmarried children under 25. As well as a permanent residence permit for Cyprus can be issued for parents of spouses.
The applicant wishing to obtain a permanent residency of Cyprus and dependent members of his family indicated in the application must, when submitting documents to the program, officially declare self-employment in Cyprus. That is, you can work after receiving a permanent income from Cyprus only in your own company established in Cyprus, or receive income exclusively from foreign assets. The holder of a permanent residency permit of Cyprus can open his company in Cyprus and pay tax on corporate income at a rate of 12.5%.
With a permanent residency of Cyprus, you may live in Cyprus, but you cannot travel around the EU. Since Cyprus is not part of the Schengen zone, although it is part of the EU.
Within 5 years of receiving the permanent residency of Cyprus, the applicant will be able to enjoy all the rights of EU citizens. That is, it will have access to education, jobs and wider business management opportunities. This status is called Long-term residency.
The main requirement
Return investment from €300 000 (plus VAT) for the purchase of real estate. The requirement to make a deposit in the Cyprus bank was canceled on March 24, 2021 for three years.
