Cyprus welcomes globally-minded investors, entrepreneurs, and professionals to its shores through tailored immigration and investment programs. Find out how we can help you map out your move to Cyprus.

What we can do for you

We can assist with all aspects relating to the relocation of private clients and corporates to Cyprus.

More specifically, we can help corporate clients establish a Cyprus company through the Cyprus Business Facilitation Unit (BFU) and benefit from the island’s strategic location, tax incentives, and business-friendly policies. This may involve obtaining residence by employment for staff, including the EU Blue Card for highly skilled non-EU nationals.

For private clients / individuals, options include residence by employment, including the EU Blue Card for non-EU nationals, the Digital Nomad visa, or permanent residency through a €300,000 investment in real estate or other assets.

Residence

Working in Cyprus

Cyprus has been successfully promoting itself as a tech island in recent years. Forward-thinkers, entrepreneurs, and professionals have been lured to the island and set up a base in this multi-cultural innovation hub. To obtain residency by employment, interested foreign nationals will need to examine the local labour environment. Once they obtain an offer from an eligible, local, international, or foreign interest company in Cyprus we can assist with the application process for their temporary residence and work permits, including the EU Blue Card, and streamline their relocation.



The regulator has amended this law, especially regarding Highly Skilled foreign workers and their eligibility to obtain Cypriot Nationality after fulfilling the following conditions:

  1. Highly skilled foreign workers with four (4) years of lawful residence can apply for citizenship if they possess a B1 certificate in the Greek language (lower intermediate level).

  2. Highly skilled foreign workers with five (5) years of lawful residence can apply for citizenship if they possess an A2 certificate in the Greek language (elementary level).

  3. All other third-country nationals must satisfy the eight (8) years of lawful residence.

  4. For all types of applicants, the number of years includes the 12 months of continuous residence in the Republic required before applying.

  5. Absences of a total of 90 days in these 12 months are allowed.

Moreover, the Cypriot Parliament has passed legislation aligning with Directive (EU) 2021/1883 to introduce the EU Blue Cards scheme.
