Cyprus offers the quickest, most assured route to citizenship of a European country through the Cypriot citizenship by investment programme. An investment of €2.0 million in real estate is required, plus a donation of €75,000 to the Governments Research and Development fund and €75,000 to the Land Development Organisation. Cyprus is unique in its offering of citizenship within just 6 months of such an investment. This grants a Cypriot passport and citizenship of an EU country, allowing the freedom to work, travel, study and live anywhere within the EU including countries such as Germany, France and the UK. The investment can be reduced down after 5 years to just €500,000.
The main attraction for high net worth individuals is the rapid citizenship on offer for qualifying real estate investments. Read more on the Cyprus Citizenship by Investment Program. Applicants are required to have a clear criminal record. There is no language requirement, medical test or interview for citizenship applicants.
** Please note this programme increased in cost May 2019. For full details, read the news article.
