FAQ

Does it have to be a new home?

Yes. The property must be a new-build home sold by the developer for the first time.

Do I need to live in Cyprus?

No need to relocate, but you generally need to visit at least once every two years to keep your status.

Can I work?

Permanent residence itself does not include the right to take up employment in Cyprus, but you can hold company shares, act as a director and receive dividends.
