Vietnamese nationals, as third country nationals, can apply for Cyprus permanent residence, most often through the property investment route. This page sets out the authority, the routes and what to confirm before you act.
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.
Cyprus does not bar Vietnamese nationals from permanent residence. As a third country national you can apply on the same basis as most non European applicants, subject to a clean criminal record, secured income from abroad and proof that the investment funds came from outside Cyprus.
Confirm current document and source of funds rules, since the Civil Registry and Migration Department updates its practice from time to time.
The main route is the fast track investment in new residential property bought from a developer, supported by a secured annual income from abroad. A separate, slower route exists for applicants who can show stable income and self support without the property investment. Resale property does not qualify under the fast track route.
The fast track investment route is usually decided within a few months of a complete filing. The permit is intended to be held for life once granted, with a requirement to visit Cyprus periodically to keep it valid. Confirm current processing windows and visit rules with the authority.
Costs include the qualifying property investment, value added tax where it applies, government filing fees and any professional support you choose. A secured annual income from abroad must also be shown for the main applicant and for each family member. Confirm the current figures with the official authority.
