The route, step by step
1
We confirm the main criteria and match you with qualifying new homes in Limassol.
2
Sale contract with the developer, reviewed by your own lawyer and deposited at the Land Registry.
3
At least €300,000 + VAT paid, with funds transferred from abroad.
4
Your application and documents go to the Civil Registry and Migration Department.
5
On approval you receive the permit; the rental guarantee starts at handover.
What residency is — and is not
An unlimited-duration immigration permit for you, and eligible family under the rules.
No passport is granted by buying. Naturalisation follows separate rules.
Tax residency depends on the days you spend in Cyprus, not on the permit.
The government has reviewed the scheme. We update this page as criteria change.
Residency-eligible homes
Every home we show is new, sold by the developer for the first time, and comes with a 6–7% yearly rent guaranteed by the developer in writing.*
*Rental yield guaranteed by the developer under a written agreement for the period set out in the sale contract.
Citizens of non-EU countries who buy a new home from a developer for at least €300,000 + VAT and show a secured yearly income of at least €50,000, with more required for each family member.
A spouse and dependent children can be included under the rules, with additional income required for each. Adult children may need their own investment. An advisor confirms your case.
No. This is permanent residency, not citizenship. Naturalisation is a separate process with its own residence conditions.
