Short answer: A common Cyprus permanent residence investment route requires purchase of qualifying property at a minimum value (one unit or an allowed combination), plus stable income, a clean record and medical insurance. Approval is permanent residence; investment and entry rules must be maintained. It is not instant citizenship or a work right in other EU states.

How does it compare with Malta MPRP?
Cyprus is property-led; Malta stacks contribution + property (buy/rent) + donation. Both run strict diligence.
