Cyprus Citizenship by Investment Program

Cyprus Citizenship by Investment Program was established in 2016 in an effort to attract direct foreign investment from high net-worth individuals. It offers the quickest method of obtaining EU citizenship, taking just 6 to 8 months for application approval. Furthermore, applicants are not required to reside in the country at all. To apply for citizenship, investors need to purchase property in Cyprus to the value of at least €2,000,000 and contribute €150,000 to government funds. After five (5) years, applicants may reduce their property investment to €500,000, which needs to be maintained indefinitely.

  • Dependent children under the age of 18

  • Children between the ages of 18 and 28 that are financially dependent on the applicant and studying full-time

  • Parents, provided they own a private residence of at least €500,000

Cyprus Citizenship Through Real Estate Investment

Cyprus Citizenship by Investment Program requires applicants to invest at least €2,000,000 in real estate and make a donation of €150,000 that is split equally between the Research and Development Fund (or another certified innovation enterprise) and the Land Development Organization. After five (5) years, the property investment can be reduced to €500,000, but investors need to maintain this investment for the applicant’s lifetime. This property will be considered as the investor’s main residence in Cyprus, even if the applicant chooses to live elsewhere.
