Procedures for acquiring residence in Cyprus

Residence Permit: Individuals wishing to stay in Cyprus for more than three months must secure a residence permit. The application process is straightforward and quick.
Selecting a Specific Residence Program: To obtain a residence permit in Cyprus for one year or longer, you must select a specific program or purpose. The most popular methods to immigrate to Cyprus in 2023 include owning real estate, acquiring work or business permits, and renting property.
Real Estate: most common and simplest way to obtain a residence permit in Northern Cyprus is by purchasing real estate. You need to buy a suitable property for residency.
Renting a Property: You can also obtain a residence permit in Northern Cyprus by renting a property. The cost of renting is not a critical factor, which simplifies the process of securing a residence permit in Northern Cyprus significantly.
Application Process: Residence permit applications are submitted to the Immigration Office of the District Police Department responsible for your area. The process can take up to four months, and the permit is valid for one year.
Medical Examination: All foreign nationals must undergo a medical examination at an accredited medical institution to obtain a temporary residence permit.

Staying in Cyprus via employment

Individuals aiming to immigrate to Cyprus through employment must first secure a job offer from a Cypriot employer to apply for a work visa. If you manage to find an employer in Cyprus, the employer must first demonstrate that the required workforce is not available within the country. Only then can they send a work invitation to the applicant outside the European Union. However, before taking any steps to immigrate to Cyprus for work, it is crucial to consider the unemployment rate in the country, as it indicates the availability of jobs and the demand for labor. Unfortunately, Cyprus has a relatively high unemployment rate. Therefore, if you intend to obtain a work visa and immigrate to Cyprus, it is recommended to consider European countries like Austria and Germany, which have labor shortages and are suitable options for work-based migration. The chart below illustrates the unemployment rate in Cyprus.

Residency in Cyprus via investment

There are several methods to immigrate to Cyprus through investment, including registering a company and purchasing property.

Residence in Cyprus Through Company Registratio

To register a company in Cyprus, you need to present a robust economic plan. If your economic or business plan is approved by the Cypriot government, you must invest around 600,000 euros in your business and commence operations to apply for residency in Cyprus. Initially, the applicant will receive a 2-year residency, which can be extended to 5 years. After that, it is possible to obtain permanent residence in Cyprus. One of the benefits of Cyprus is that, despite being an EU member, Kurds can easily open bank accounts in the country and face no issues with capital transfer.

Residence in Cyprus Through the Company

By registering a company in Cyprus, working within your company, and paying insurance and salaries, you can obtain Cyprus residency. The costs associated with a Cypriot company are about 20,000 euros, of which approximately 10,000 euros cover company registration and initial measures, and about 10,000 euros cover insurance, salary payments, and secondary measures. By securing residency through company operations, about five people can apply under a single plan, and each person can bring their spouse and children up to 21 years old (in some cases up to 23 years old).

Residence in Cyprus via Purchase of Property

By purchasing property in Cyprus, you can obtain permanent residence and even benefit from a mortgage rate of 4%.

Residential Properties: Purchase up to two residential properties in Cyprus worth more than 300,000 euros plus a 19% value-added tax (VAT).
Residential & Commercial Properties: Purchase a residential property and a commercial unit that is at least 250 square meters with a combined value of more than 300,000 euros plus a 19% VAT.

Staying in Cyprus by Renting a Property

No attendance requirement.
The applicant will not be allowed to work in the country.
There is no need to rent an expensive house to obtain residency.
One of the advantages of obtaining residency in South Cyprus is that it is an EU member, yet the cost of living in Cyprus is lower than in other countries.

Items	Description
Capital required by the main person	At least 30 thousand euros
wife and children	5 thousand euros
Ability to take along	has it
The possibility of obtaining citizenship	5 years after permanent residence
permanent residency	It is granted after 5 years

Acquiring residence in Cyprus via marriag

Regarding acquiring Cyprus residency through marriage, note that for this purpose you must:

applicant must marry a Cypriot citizen.
applicant must provide a certificate of celibacy in front of the Cypriot person they intend to marry.
If applicant is already married, present a divorce certificate or death certificate of their former spouse.
applicant must show proof that if they intend to marry a Cypriot person, they are capable of covering living expenses for both. This includes providing property documents and having a fixed income above 1,000 euros per month.
applicant must legally register their marriage in Cyprus within 15 to 90 days.

After completing these steps, after 2 years and if the applicant proves that they still maintain their shared life with their Cypriot spouse, they can extend their stay and obtain a 3-year residency. After 5 years of living together, the applicant can apply for permanent residence and subsequently Cyprus citizenship.

Residency in Cyprus via birth of a child

Another method to immigrate and obtain residence in Cyprus is by giving birth to a child in this country. Generally, there are two types of citizenship acquisition systems through the birth of a child:

Soil System: With the birth of a child on the soil of such countries, residence and citizenship of that country can be obtained.
Blood System: Residency and citizenship are transferred from parents to children regardless of the place of birth; like most European and Asian countries that follow this system.

Cyprus follows the blood system, meaning residency and citizenship will be passed from parents to children. If a child of a Cypriot father and a non-citizen mother is born outside the territory of Cyprus, the child can obtain Cypriot residency and citizenship through their father; the opposite is also true. Note that if a child is born in Cyprus, but their parents are unknown or the parents are stateless, the child can obtain the residence and citizenship of Cyprus, as the country has adopted the soil system as a subsidiary.

Obtaining residence in Cyprus via asylum

Attention! it’s important to clarify that Talav Company does not engage in activities related to asylum. The following content is provided to inform readers about the risks associated with seeking asylum.

As you know, asylum is one of the methods of immigration and residence in Cyprus. However, it must be said that this method for immigration and residence is not a legal and appropriate method.

People who choose asylum as a way to obtain residence in Cyprus should know that by choosing this method, they will not be able to benefit from legal conditions in this country such as work and education. Until the asylum request is approved, the applicant is not considered a citizen in this country. In addition, those who choose asylum may face irreparable risks and problems because they usually enter the destination country illegally. They may encounter issues with the border police and be harmed.

Conditions for receiving residency in Cyprus for artists & highly successful individuals

Many artists and successful individuals are considering obtaining residency in Cyprus through this method. If a person meets the following conditions, they should receive a temporary artist’s residence permit from the Cyprus Immigration Office to start working.

People who have a special style and profession in the fields of art.
They have received an invitation letter from a Cypriot employer in their field of activity.
They have entered Cyprus to perform artistic activities.

Artists who act in this way may engage in artistic activities in various sectors such as art and entertainment venues and receive salaries for their activities. If you succeed in getting an invitation letter from the employer, you can obtain a 6-month temporary residence in this country, which can be extended up to 1 year. The important thing is that if approved by the employer, you can have a work invitation and receive a long-term residence in this country. After 5 years of artistic presence and activity, permanent residence and a Cypriot passport will belong to you.

Staying in Cyprus with a tourist visa

The question at hand is whether it’s feasible to remain in Cyprus using a tourist visa. The answer to this query is that if you’re referring to a prolonged stay, it’s not possible. With a Cyprus tourist visa, you’re permitted to visit the country for short durations. Here’s how it works:

Type of tourist accommodation	period of time	Visa Fee
short stay	90 days	20 euros
Long term visa	180 days	20 euros

In the 180-day visa, you can make multiple entries into the country, and within a span of 5 years, you can enter and exit Cyprus multiple times. However, the crucial requirement is that with the 180-day visas issued, you must stay continuously in the country for a full 90 days. It’s advisable to apply for a 90-day short-stay visa if you plan to visit Cyprus as a tourist and intend to explore the country.

Duration of obtaining a Cyprus residence card

Obtaining a Cyprus visa means acquiring temporary residence in this country. Initially, when you apply for a visa, it will be valid for approximately six months to one year. After receiving a temporary residence visa and staying in Cyprus for a few years, you can apply for permanent residence, which should be 5-6 years from your temporary residence to apply for a permanent residence and obtain a Cyprus residence card. Generally, the duration of obtaining a Cyprus residence card is:

Four months for work.
Three months for study.

Documents required for residency in Cyprus

Passport or other travel documents with a validity of at least two years and a copy of the above (including pages showing entry and exit stamps) certified by an official officer.

Difference between Cypriot residency & Cypriot citizenship

Residency and citizenship are two closely related concepts in the matter of immigration that many people confuse or do not know the difference between. Therefore, it is essential to provide a precise definition of each keyword.

Difference Between Permanent Residence in Cyprus & Citizenship

Residence: It is divided into temporary and permanent parts. Temporary residence allows people to live in Cyprus or any other region of the world for a limited period. This type of accommodation has different types. Permanent residence allows people to live in Cyprus for more than one year, and this type of residence can be converted into citizenship. Permanent residence allows immigrants to use the services and facilities of Cyprus.

Citizenship: Citizenship means becoming a citizen of Cyprus and enjoying all the rights of citizenship. People who obtain permanent residence in Cyprus will be able to acquire citizenship after 7 years of continuous presence in Cyprus and payment of taxes.

Converting temporary residence to permanent residence in Cyprus

It is not possible to convert a temporary residence of less than one year into a permanent residence in Cyprus. This type of residence, whose validity is limited, is granted to people who apply for a work permit, tourism, specific job, etc. They will not have such education and services, and after the end of their stay, they must return to their country.

This type of temporary residence cannot be converted into permanent residence by any method, and people who want to obtain permanent residence or citizenship of Cyprus should do so through other methods that lead to this goal.

There is another type of temporary residence, which is valid for more than one year and is created for the purpose of education, company registration, etc. This type of visa can be converted into permanent residence if certain conditions are met. For example, a person who registered a company with a temporary residence can apply for permanent residence after three years of company activity.

Cost of living in Cyprus

One of the key considerations for anyone planning to settle in Cyprus and immigrate to the country is the cost of living. Naturally, living costs are moderate and vary based on individual circumstances such as city of residence, family size, and lifestyle.
