The government of Cyprus has devised different incentives to attract foreign investments. One of these is the Cyprus Permanent Residency program offering non-EU nationals guaranteed permanent residency shall the applicants meet certain criteria.
This means that the investor and the rest of the family has the right to live freely in Cyprus or continue to live in their home country and use the permit only whenever they need it. The permanent residency status is valid for ever and no renewal is required therefore, it can act as an insurance policy for the family in the future.
It applies to the investor, their spouse, minor children, unmarried dependent children up to the age of 25 and the parents and in-law parents of the investor. The Cyprus Permanent Residency program is unique as once the permits are obtained they are valid forever, even after the children are no longer dependent.
