Permanent Residency in Cyprus
A discreet, end-to-end advisory for individuals and families seeking Cyprus Permanent Residency through qualifying property investment.
Cyprus offers one of Europe's most considered Permanent Residency pathways for investors and their families. Our team guides clients through every dimension of the journey — from selecting a qualifying residence to coordinating legal counsel, banking and registration.
We work with a select number of clients at a time. Each case is handled privately, with a single senior advisor as the constant point of contact throughout the process.
"Two decades on the ground in Cyprus, with vast experience in real estate and banking, has taught us that the brief is never just the property — it is the life around it. We take both seriously."
A Mediterranean base, considered for the long view
"We do not sell residency. We help families build the right life in Cyprus, and we make the paperwork match."
Cyprus has quietly become the European base of choice for families who want sunlight, safety, an English-speaking judiciary and a tax framework written for international life. Permanent Residency is the legal architecture beneath that decision — and it deserves to be built with the same care as the residence itself.
We rarely meet a client whose pathway is purely transactional. Behind every application is a decision about schooling, succession, currency, where the next decade will be lived. Our role is to translate those ambitions into a clean, defensible filing — and into a residence worth coming back to.
The work is unhurried. The fewer the clients, the better the outcome.

Frequently asked
- What is the qualifying investment?
- Cyprus PR requires a qualifying residential or commercial property investment, plus proof of secured annual income from abroad. Current thresholds and the precise structure are confirmed in your discovery call and depend on the regulation in force at application.
- Can my family be included?
- Yes. A single application can include your spouse, dependent children and, in many cases, parents and parents-in-law. We structure each case to optimise family inclusion while keeping the application clean and defensible.
- Do I have to live in Cyprus full-time?
- No. The headline obligation is a periodic visit to maintain status, not full-time residency. We will brief you on the exact requirement in force when you apply.
- How long does the process take?
- Most cases move from acquisition to PR issuance within several months. Documentation readiness, source-of-funds clearance and current processing times are the main variables.
- Do you also handle citizenship?
- Cyprus does not currently operate an investment-based citizenship route. We focus exclusively on Permanent Residency and long-term naturalisation strategy where relevant.
- What are your fees?
- Our advisory fee is fixed at the outset and confirmed in a private engagement letter. Third-party legal, banking and government fees are separate and quoted transparently.
