FAQ

Investor Questions Answered

Is Cyprus a good place to invest in real estate?

Cyprus offers high rental yields (5–8% in key areas), growing tourism driving demand, a stable property market backed by EU legal protections, and increasing interest from international investors. Paphos in particular offers strong capital appreciation potential combined with an exceptional Mediterranean lifestyle.

Can I get Permanent Residency by investing?

Yes. Non-EU nationals who invest a minimum of €300,000 (+VAT) in new residential property from a licensed developer qualify for Cyprus Permanent Residency. The process takes 2–3 months and can include your spouse, children, and parents of both spouses.

Cyprus offers 15% corporate tax (lowest in EU), 0% inheritance tax, 0% capital gains tax on share disposals, Non-Domicile regime (0% tax on dividends/interest for qualifying residents), and reduced 5% VAT on first home purchases.

Do I need to live in Cyprus to maintain residency?

No. Permanent Residency holders only need to visit Cyprus at least once every two years to maintain their permit. There is no minimum stay requirement.
