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.
