Residential Permit

Residential Permit is easily obtained for persons living in Cyprus, who have purchased property.

Temporary Permit

The granting of this permit requires the existence of a bank account in Cyprus and a sales agreement of the property purchased. Temporary residence status can be from one to four years.

Permanent permit

In addition to the above requirements, the applicant must establish evidence of a secured annual income of not less than € 9.570 per person plus € 4.615 for each dependant person. (Because of the entry of Cyprus to the EU, it is possible that for Europeans the law in respect of permits will change.) For more information please contact the Ministry of Interior, Nicosia.
