Common questions
Can I work in Cyprus with permanent residency?
Permanent residency does not automatically grant employment rights in Cyprus. However, you can establish and operate your own business, or apply separately for a work permit if you wish to be employed.
What happens if my application is rejected?
Rejection is rare when working with experienced advisors and meeting all criteria. If rejected, you can reapply after addressing the specific concerns noted by authorities. Our team ensures applications are thoroughly prepared to maximize approval chances.
Can my adult children be included?
Children up to 18 years are automatically included. Adult children aged 18-25 who are unmarried and financially dependent on the main applicant (e.g., full-time students) can also be included with additional documentation.
How often must I visit Cyprus?
You are required to visit Cyprus once every two years to maintain your permanent residency status. This minimal requirement offers exceptional flexibility compared to other EU residency programmes.
Can I sell the property later?
You must maintain ownership of a qualifying property for the duration of your permanent residency. You may sell and purchase another qualifying property, but continuous property ownership in Cyprus is required.
Does this lead to citizenship?
Permanent residency does not automatically lead to citizenship. However, after maintaining legal residence for 7 years and meeting additional requirements, you may become eligible to apply for Cypriot citizenship through naturalization.
