Mr Li, ShanghaiCyprus Permanent ResidencyFAQ
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.
When can I apply for citizenship?
Cyprus has ended citizenship by investment; naturalisation generally requires eight years of actual residence.
