Is it possible to obtain a residency permit for the purchase of a house or villa in Cyprus?

Yes. Cyprus has a residency by investment programme, which allows you to obtain a permanent residency permit for investing in real estate — such as a house or a villa — at least 300,000 euro.

What is the maximum amount of properties that can be purchased in Cyprus?

You can own one property object in Cyprus with an area size of up to 4,000 square metres. Alternatively, you can own a plot of land in Cyprus with an area size of up to 40 acres. Note that you can only own one object, either a property (a house, villa, etc.) or a land plot.

How much time is needed to purchase a house or villa in Cyprus?

It is not uncommon for the whole process of purchasing a house in Cyprus with the subsequent transfer of ownership to take 90–180 days. However, it is possible to speed up this process with the help of real estate professionals. Our team usually manages to close the deal in 30–45 days.

Is it possible to get citizenship for the purchase of a house or villa in Cyprus?

Yes. After obtaining a permanent residency permit, you can apply for citizenship in the Republic of Cyprus. Note that this will be available to you after 1825 days (that is five full years) of living in Cyprus over the span of seven years.

Which is the most sought-after region for a living in Cyprus?

The answer to this question is highly subjective as each person has its own criteria for choosing a region suitable for their lifestyle. However, the most popular answer may as well be Nicosia — the capital of Cyprus and the largest city on the island. The convenience of a metropolitan city with its contemporary infrastructure is hard to overestimate when choosing a place to settle in. Another popular destination is the south coast of the island, which is held in high regard among the many expats relocating to Cyprus.
