Cyprus, was the first European country introducing in August 2012 a new policy, offering an opportunity to obtain residency status both simply and efficiently. Non-European citizens can obtain a Cyprus Residency Permit, with unlimited duration, within a period of just two months!

The permit is valid for the entire family including dependent children up to 25 years of age, subject to certain conditions being fulfilled. Furthermore, the process is extremely straightforward and can even be arranged through a lawyer, without requiring a visit to the island.
