Common mistakes

- Amounts that do not match the tax return or statements you attach.
- Writing amounts in a foreign currency. The form asks for euro.
- Listing income you cannot document with originals.
Questions
Where do I download the affidavit?
From the Migration Department's 'Immigration Permits for Investors (IP)' forms page on gov.cy, listed as 'Ένορκη Δήλωση / AFFIDAVIT'. It is a one-page Word (.doc) file.
How much income do I need?
It depends on the category. The investor criteria ask for at least €50,000 a year, plus €15,000 for a spouse and €10,000 per dependent child. Category F asks for at least €9,568 a year for the applicant and €4,613 for each dependant.
Is the affidavit the same as the visitor income declaration?
The wording is almost the same, but the affidavit is sworn and refers to an Immigration Permit. Pink Slip applicants use the 'summarized statement of income' instead.
