Cyprus
Cyprus, positioned at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa, offers a unique blend of strategic location, stable economy, and high living standards. As a member of the European Union, Cyprus has become an attractive destination for investors and families seeking permanent residency through investment. The island combines Mediterranean lifestyle, favourable tax regimes, and strong legal infrastructure, making it a preferred choice for global mobility.
At Coates Global, our legal experts provide comprehensive support to clients interested in Cyprus Residency by Investment, delivering a structured and secure route to establish long-term residence in the EU.

Pathway to Permanent Residency
Cyprus offers a Permanent Residency Programme through investment in real estate or qualifying assets. This programme enables non-EU nationals and their families to obtain lifelong residence rights without the need to reside in Cyprus full-time.
Pathway to Citizenship
Although permanent residency does not automatically lead to citizenship, those who choose to physically reside in Cyprus for several years may become eligible for naturalisation under standard residence and integration criteria. Coates Global can advise on long-term strategies to transition from residency to citizenship where applicable.
How Strong Is the Cypriot Passport?
Cypriot citizenship offers visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to over 180 countries globally. It also provides full rights to live, work, and study across the European Union. While our primary focus is on Cyprus permanent residency programmes, those aiming for eventual citizenship gain the added benefit of enhanced global mobility.

Real Results...
Talk to our legal team and find out how we make global mobility a reality.
Every time a client receives their residency or citizenship approval, we’re reminded why this work matters. It's not just paperwork — it’s about transforming lives and creating new legacies.
We don’t push clients towards just any programme — we listen, we assess, and we recommend only what we’d choose ourselves. That’s what makes Coates Global different.
I’ve seen families reunited, children enrolling in world-class schools, and entrepreneurs unlocking international markets. That’s the power of what we do.
Even in the most complex of cases, there’s always a path forward — it just takes clarity, strategy, and the right team. That’s what we bring to every client.
Helping high-net-worth clients gain citizenship is more than a transaction. It’s about long-term security, mobility, and legacy planning — and we ensure it's done with precision.
Being part of this team means being part of something bigger — we open borders, but more importantly, we open futures.
When a client tells me, ‘You’ve changed my family’s life,’ I know our commitment goes far beyond legal expertise — it’s about people.
With every investor we support, we’re contributing to a stronger, more interconnected world. It’s an honour to play that role.
The World is rising, and our clients are part of that story. We ensure they have access to the global opportunities they deserve.
