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.

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.
