About the programme

John Theodorou presents Cyprus Investment Programme. 

Participating in the Programme investor with his family obtains Cyprus passports. This is not a residence permit or a visa but rather full citizenship of the EU-member state.

The programme requires the amount of €2mln to be invested in Cyprus for 3 years. The citizenship is granted within 6 months.

The programme has already attracted over 4 billion euros of direct investments into the economy of the Republic of Cyprus.

Advantages of the programme

The programme is unique in Europe and very appealing:

• Investor and his family can freely reside, work, study, have business in any of the EU-member states as well as in Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Iceland
• The Republic of Cyprus is a full EU member. Holder of Cyprus passport can travel visa-free in 157 countries in total
• Dual-citizenship is permitted
• The passport is issued also for the investor’s spouse*** and all financially dependent children (up to 28 years old)
• The investor’s parents are entitled to apply for citizenship provided that they are owners of a Cyprus permanent residence of at least €500.000
• Time for approval of citizenship for the investor and his/her spouse is 6 months
• No requirement to reside in Cyprus 
• Minimum investment required is €2mln (here and below amounts are excluding VAT where VAT is applicable)
• The investment must be kept just for 3 years. After that the assets can be sold. To be more precise, the Law states that a property of minimum value of €500.000 must be kept as a private residence (we expect that this condition will be removed; anyway this private residence can be rented out and generate rental income for investor)
• No donation to the Cyprus government
• No history and language proficiency tests

• Residential properties
• Commercial properties
• Development projects
• Purchase or creation or participation in Cypriot businesses or companies
• Investment funds, financial assets of Cypriot businesses or organizations
• Government bonds (maximum €500.000; the balance €1,5mln should be invested in other options like property)
