This page explains how Mexican nationals, as non European Union nationals, can approach permanent residence in Cyprus through the investment route, who the official authority is, and what to confirm before acting.

Cyprus offers a permanent residence permit to non European Union nationals who make a qualifying investment under Regulation 6(2) of the Aliens and Immigration Regulations. Mexican nationals qualify as third country applicants and are not subject to any nationality specific exclusion that we could confirm at the time of writing.
Applicants generally need a clean criminal record, proof that the income supporting the family comes from sources abroad, and evidence of the qualifying investment. The permit can include a spouse and dependent children, subject to the income thresholds. Confirm the current document list and family rules with the official authority.
The main investment route requires a minimum investment of 300,000 euro before VAT in one of the eligible categories. These categories include a new residential property bought from a developer, other property such as offices or commercial space, shares in a Cyprus company that employs staff in Cyprus, or units in a Cyprus collective investment fund. Confirm which categories are currently accepted with the official authority.
The applicant must also show secure annual income from abroad. The documented threshold starts at 50,000 euro a year for the main applicant, with additional amounts for a spouse and for each dependent child. Verify the current income figures with the official authority, since they are reviewed from time to time.
The investment route is processed by the Civil Registry and Migration Department as a faster track than ordinary residence categories. Processing times depend on the completeness of the file and current caseloads. Do not assume a fixed period. Confirm current processing times with the official authority.
The largest cost is the qualifying investment of at least 300,000 euro before VAT. On top of that, plan for VAT where it applies, government application fees, and professional costs. We do not state a single all in figure because fees change and depend on the chosen route. Confirm the current fees with the official authority.
