Invest in Freedom: Exploring Pafilia’s Cyprus Permanent Residency by Investment

If you’re seeking to secure long-term access to the EU, excellent education, and healthcare without complex hurdles, Pafilia’s Cyprus Permanent Residency by Investment programme might be your pathway.

Why Cyprus?

  • Mediterranean Perks – Cyprus is a vibrant, sun-soaked island that acts as a bridge between Europe, Asia, and Africa. Its strategic location coupled with two international airports makes travel seamless. Residency opens the door to easy access to Schengen travel: applicants may obtain a visa in as little as one week.
  • Quality of Life Essentials – Permanent residents and their families gain access to Cyprus’s well-regarded healthcare system and strong educational infrastructure, paving the way for children’s access to global universities.
  • Family Inclusion – The programme extends beyond the main applicant: it includes the spouse, dependent children up to age 25, adult children over 25 if they have studied in Cyprus, and, in some cases, parents.

A Straightforward Investment

  • Single Investment, Lasting Residency – Make a one-time real estate investment of €300,000 (net of VAT), and you’ll secure permanent residency that remains valid indefinitely—even after family circumstances evolve.
  • Minimal Residency Requirement – You only need to physically enter Cyprus one day every two years to maintain your status.
  • Fast and Hassle-Free Process – The application requires no language tests, medical exams, or interviews. The whole process typically takes just two months, and Pafilia even offers full reimbursement if the residency permit isn’t granted within that timeframe (terms and conditions apply).

From Residency to Citizenship

Permanent residency paves a clear path toward EU citizenship—eligible residents can apply for Cyprus citizenship after seven years, offering an enhanced level of freedom and opportunity.
