Scheme for Naturalization of Investors in Cyprus by exception
The Republic of Cyprus has developed a program of drawing foreign investments into the country's economy, which enables any individual to apply for citizenship of the Republic of Cyprus in return for investments made on certain conditions.
The concept is extremely simple: the applicant and his family members, having made a one-time investment of 2 million EUR by purchasing real estate on the territory of the Republic of Cyprus (important: excluding the territory of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus) will be granted an opportunity to initiate the procedure of obtaining the country's citizenship. The process consists of checking the applicant's identity and sources of income, and, in case of success, a series of paperwork procedures.
The conditions of the program presume the possibility of selling part of the obtained real estate amounting to 2 million EUR after a five-year ownership period and retaining the ownership of a facility with a value of 500'000 EUR.
