Why Cyprus Permanent Residency Appeals to Premium Investors

Cyprus has become one of Europe’s leading destinations for property investors seeking high-yield assets that also provide access to European Union permanent residency (PR).

With a minimum investment of €300,000 plus VAT in real estate, buyers can obtain PR for themselves and their families within approximately two months.

Key benefits of Cyprus PR include visa-free travel across the Schengen Zone (effective from 2025), the right to live in Cyprus indefinitely, access to world-class healthcare and education systems, no inheritance tax, and a favourable tax regime for foreign investors.

Cyprus also offers an excellent quality of life, stable economic growth, and a strategic location between Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
