Cyprus Residence by Investment
Cyprus is a popular destination due to its warm climate and friendly tax environment. Since becoming a European Union member, immigration to Cyprus has grown significantly. Mostly known for its citizenship by investment program, Cyprus also offers residence by investment programs to third-country nationals. But the program also offers permanent residence to foreigner investors. Naturalization is possible after 7 years of residence in Cyprus. Applicants can add their dependents in the applications also, such as spouse, adult children and parents.
