The Republic of Cyprus grants permanent residence to applicants from outside the European Union who make a qualifying investment. This page explains how the route works for Turkish nationals and points to the official source.

Turkish citizens are nationals of a country outside the European Union, so they fall within the group the permanent residence route is designed for. There is no published rule that names Turkish nationals as excluded.
Two practical points matter. The programme applies strict due diligence and source of funds checks on all applicants. Separately, Turkish public documents may need extra steps to be recognised by the Republic of Cyprus, so confirm the accepted legalisation or apostille procedure with the Civil Registry and Migration Department before you file.
The fast track route under Regulation 6(2) requires an investment of at least EUR 300,000 plus VAT. The qualifying investment can be new residential property, or a stake in a Cypriot company with real activity and staff, or units in a Cyprus investment fund. The applicant must also show secure annual income from abroad, commonly cited as at least EUR 50,000, with additions for a spouse and each dependent child.
Confirm the current qualifying categories, the income thresholds and whether the property must be purchased from a developer with the Civil Registry and Migration Department, because the rules are periodically refined.
The fast track route is designed to be decided within a few months of a complete filing. Actual times depend on the volume of applications and the completeness of the file, so confirm the current timeline with the Civil Registry and Migration Department.
The dominant cost is the qualifying investment of at least EUR 300,000 plus VAT, which you hold rather than spend. Plan also for VAT where it applies, government application and issuance fees, and professional, legal and translation costs. The required overseas income is shown rather than paid as a fee.
