An investor can choose from several investment options in the amount of EUR 300,000: invest in residential or commercial real estate, shares of Cypriot companies or shares of local investment funds.
If the applicant has chosen to invest in commercial real estate, then he will still need to buy or rent a property on the island. There are no space or cost requirements.
Investments can be returned only after the expiration of the permanent residence or after obtaining citizenship.

An investor can buy one or two primary properties for a total amount of EUR 300,000 plus VAT. The standard VAT rate is 19%, but when buying a single home for your own residence, it is reduced to 5%. It is not possible to invest in resale property.
