Cyprus Residency Visa
There are numerous reasons why anyone would choose Cyprus to become a resident and a prominent reason is its favorable tax regime. With an abundance of excellent education systems and UK university campuses, most of the country speaks English too.
It ranks as the world’s fifth safest country with Europe’s lowest crime rate. Healthcare and education standards are good reasons too, with low property taxes and strategic location at the crossroads of Africa, Asia, and Europe. Applicants must invest on property valued at $300, 000.
A residence permit is granted for the entire family if approved, which take only two months. This is lifelong residency that is passed down to spouse and dependents. Residents are required to visit Cyprus and all included family members under the residency permit one every two years.
An individual applicant or a company owned by spouse and applicant as beneficial owners can purchase the property which must be a brand-new residence. It must reach $300, 000 and can be split into purchasing two properties or more.
