Cyprus golden visa: permanent residence by investment, checked and filed

Cyprus grants an Immigration Permit under Regulation 6(2) to eligible non-EU investors. It gives the right to reside without annual permit renewal; the residence card itself is replaced every 10 years. The route requires a qualifying investment and proof of income; we review your case before you commit.

How much do you need to invest for Cyprus permanent residence?

The route needs a qualifying investment and a secure income from abroad, checked again for each family member you include. Most people buy a new home, but other investments also qualify. We set out the current amounts and their official source before you commit any money, and a licensed Cyprus advocate signs off the legal checks on the purchase.

How long does Cyprus permanent residence take?

Processing usually takes about two months after a complete application. Before that, the investment must be made and documented, which takes longest when you buy property. The permit has no yearly renewal; the card is replaced every 10 years. We track the file until the card is issued.

Questions

Does it let me work?

Not as an employee. You and your spouse may be directors of the company you invested in; if the investment is not in company shares, you may also hold shares, receive dividends and be unpaid directors.
