Indefinite resident status, tax optimisation, direct pathway to EU citizenship
The Cyprus investment programme grants indefinite permanent residency against the purchase of new residential property from an authorised developer, with the investor’s family included in the same application.
Its fiscal appeal rests on one of the lowest corporate rates in the EU, on non-domiciled status, and on the absence of inheritance tax.
Status is granted indefinitely; the card is renewed every ten years without reopening the underlying permission.
Corporate tax is 12.5%, and non-domiciled residents pay no tax on overseas income, including dividends and capital gains.
Naturalisation becomes available after 8 years of legal residence, with visa-free travel to 170+ countries.
A single visit to the island once every two years maintains the status.
The programme covers the spouse, children up to 25, and the parents of both investor and spouse.
Capital appreciation and rental income in a stable EU jurisdiction, with European banking access behind the position.
Founders registering or relocating a company under Cypriot jurisdiction, inside the EU single market, as a base for asset structuring.
European schooling and healthcare, and the option to relocate the household at short notice.
A Mediterranean base for work spanning Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
