The Cyprus Citizenship by Investment Program is a popular option for foreign investors seeking to obtain European Union citizenship.
Process:
The application process typically takes around six months and includes a thorough background check by the Cypriot government to ensure the applicant does not have a criminal record.
Once approved, the applicant and their family members (spouse and children under the age of 28) are granted Cypriot citizenship, which allows them to live, work, and study in any EU country.
Benefits:
Cypriot citizenship offers several benefits, including access to the EU’s education, healthcare, and business opportunities.
Cyprus has a favorable tax regime, including no tax on worldwide income for non-domiciled individuals and favorable corporate tax rates.
Cyprus has a high standard of living, with a strong economy and a pleasant Mediterranean climate.
