Cyprus offers a fast track to permanent residence built on a qualifying investment. Here is how the cost picture breaks down, with the figures to confirm with the official authority.
Information, not advice. Figures are indicative and current as of June 2026. Always confirm the present rules with the official program authority and a licensed professional before you act.
The fast track permanent residence route is built on a qualifying investment of at least 300,000 euros, set out under the Cyprus immigration regulations. Common options include one or two new residential properties, commercial property, or units in approved Cyprus collective investment funds or company shares. Residential buyers should budget for value added tax on top of the purchase price.
Applicants pay official application and registration fees to the Civil Registry and Migration Department, and must show a secured annual income from abroad. Reported income thresholds start around 50,000 euros for the main applicant, with additions for a spouse and for each dependent child. Value added tax on a primary home can fall to a reduced rate, while the standard rate is higher. Confirm the current fees, income figures and tax treatment with the official authority.
Legal, due diligence and registration support are usually handled by licensed professionals, and their fees vary by case. We do not quote a single figure here because costs depend on the property, the structure and the size of the family. Use the Get Matched route to reach vetted, independent advisors.
A realistic plan adds the qualifying investment, value added tax where it applies, government fees, professional fees and ongoing costs such as maintaining a Cyprus address. Treat any single headline number with care, because the full cost is higher than the 300,000 euro minimum alone.
