Cyprus Permanent Residence and Citizenship Programs

Many real estate investors in Europe acquire a second passport from Cyprus, as the process can be completed within six (6) months. This is a very fast turnaround—investment-based citizenship in Portugal takes over six (6) years.

Cyprus is favored by affluent investors for many reasons: low property tax, excellent healthcare institutions and educational institutions including UK university campuses, a low crime rate and strategic location at the crossroads of Africa, Asia and Europe. Cyprus is also a full EU member, soon to join the EU Schengen zone, and a majority English speaking island.

There is a permanent residence and a citizenship visa program available from Cyprus for wealthy real estate investors. Both are fast and efficient.
