Permanent Residence Permit in Cyprus (Permanent Residence)


In May 2013, the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Cyprus introduced an accelerated procedure for obtaining a permanent residence permit (category F).

  • Stable annual income outside of Cyprus
  • Transfer of funds from a foreign account to a savings account in a Cyprus bank in the amount of EUR 30,000.
