With a streamlined application process, Cyprus offers clear and straightforward investment requirements, delivering the fastest and most assured route to gaining a European passport or Permanent Residency status through real estate investment.

Buying a new development property from €300,000 grants an investor the right to obtain Cyprus Permanent Residency in just two months. The Cyprus Citizenship by Investment Programme requires a minimum investment of €2 million and allows investors to obtain a European passport in only 6 months.

Qualifying investments include residential and commercial real estate and may be either new-build or resale properties. Investors may purchase multiple properties to make up the required real estate investment value.

Cyprus also offers highly attractive investment opportunities, as real estate returns (yields) in Cyprus are amongst the highest and most stable in Europe. Residential property rental returns are typically around 4.7-5.6% and for commercial properties around 4-5%.

There is a wide choice of properties available, all suitable for the Cyprus Residency and Citizenship Programme. This offers a robust investment with the potential to rent out the property to generate rental income.

Property may be resold after five years of citizenship acquisition, with a high return on investment. However, the investor is required to continue to retain real estate to a minimum value of €500,000 as their primary residential property.
