Cyprus

Cyprus offers a Golden Visa through its Permanent Residency by Investment Program, introduced in 2013 for non-EU investors. By selecting from four approved investment routes, applicants may secure permanent residency with no expiry. This program grants residency status only and should not be mistaken for the former citizenship by investment program, which was terminated in 2020. Cyprus has been a member of the European Union since 2004.

Regulations

Cyprus’s Golden Visa program, officially the Permanent Residence by Investment scheme, was introduced in 2013 and is regulated under Regulation 6(2) of the Aliens and Immigration Regulations, pursuant to the Aliens and Immigration Law (Cap. 105). The program grants permanent residence to non-EU nationals who make qualifying investments, primarily in Cypriot real estate. Applications are assessed by the Civil Registry and Migration Department, with strict due diligence, source-of-funds verification, and compliance requirements. The legal framework provides clarity, transparency, and long-term security, ensuring that the program supports sustainable investment while maintaining Cyprus’s integrity as an EU member state within Cyprus.
