So Where IS Cyprus anyway? Cyprus is an island in the Eastern Mediterranean, standing at the crossroads of Europe, Middle East, Asia and Africa. Some 340 days of sunshine a year make for long, languid summers and mild winters. Landscapes are breath-taking, with mountains, vine-clad foothills, cedar forests and calm, azure blue seas. Meanwhile, the World Health

Organisation rates Cyprus as one of the healthiest countries in the Mediterranean. A Mediterranean diet, modern healthcare and international schools ensure an excellent quality of life and if you wish to live in a safe secure environment then Cyprus is well placed being recently voted the 5th safest country in the world. Economic conditions are now highly favourable too: the lowest low tax regime in the European Union, zero inheritance tax and dual tax treaties for overseas investors make it the perfect choice for second home owners and tax exiles.

INVESTING IN CYPRUS The Cyprus Economy Investors and progressive business minds recognise that Cyprus today is one of the best places to invest! It is well known that the recent discovery of the largest oil and natural gas near to the coast of Cyprus is expected to completely transform the country’s economy over the next decade! The World Bank has ranked Cyprus 39th out of 189

economies in its “Ease of Doing Business” report Forbes has placed Cyprus 27th out of 145 on its Best

Country for Business list

UNDERSTANDING THE CITIZENSHIP AND RESIDENCY MARKET

The Citizenship and Residency Market can be very confusing with the number of offerings from many different countries providing what looks on the surface like similar offerings. The reality can be very different and hopefully this information will help dispel some of the myths, simplify your choice and ensure that you choose the right option that meets your requirements. The offerings can be placed into 3 main categories: - 1. The Caribbean/Americas Citizenships 2. The European Residency Programmes

3. the FULL EU Citizenship Programmes. 1. The Caribbean/Americas Citizenships These offerings from countries such as St Kitts, Dominica, Antigua & Barbuda, and Grenada are typically in the $250,000 to $400,000 region and provide you with citizenship of that country only.

Page 14: CYPRUS CITIZENSHIP & PASSPORT INVESTMENT PROGRAMME€¦ · Cyprus citizenship also includes access to Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. Become a European Union (Cypriot)

14

They also provide the ability to travel on a visa to between 80 and 165 countries and that is all. They DO NOT allow you to Live or Work in Europe. 2. The European Residency Programmes The European Residency Programme offerings are provided by Spain, Portugal, Cyprus, Bulgaria and Hungary (the latter two confusingly name them citizenship programmes) they typically cost in the region of €500,000 and offer residency (live in the particular country), the ability to travel to Schengen countries and an option to upgrade to full citizenship after 5-10 years. Therefore offering more than the Caribbean offerings. They DO NOT allow you to live or work throughout Europe. The lowest cost at €300,000, fastest 8 weeks and most popular is the Cyprus Residency Programme. 3. The FULL EU Citizenship Programmes Whilst the Citizenship Programmes are more expensive they offer complete FREEDOM, SECURITY & MOBILITY to ALLOW you & your family to LIVE, WORK or STUDY anywhere in the European Union and provide extensive travel to over 150 countries. There are only 3 FULL EU Citizenship Offerings in the market: UK, Malta & Cyprus 3.1. The UK (EU) Tier 1 Investment Programme The UK Tier 1 Investment Programme has recently been increased to £2m (€2.8m) making it the most expensive of the three options. It takes a minimum of 5 years before applying and you have to live a minimum of 185 days in the UK every year for 5 years, pass a language test and interview, therefore making it expensive and very difficult to qualify. 3.2. The Malta (EU) Individual Investor Programme The Citizenship Programme costs €1.15m, however you are required to donate €650,000 to the Maltese government as a gift. You are required to live in Malta for 12 months before applying and the application then takes a further 6 months. You are also required to speak Maltese or English. The qualification challenge and the donation to the government are proving to make the Maltese option unpopular. 3.3. The Cyprus (EU) Citizenship by Investment Programme The Cyprus Programme requires an investment of €2.5m (typically in real estate), takes 3-4 months and there are no residency or language requirements. The speed and simplicity of the

Page 15: CYPRUS CITIZENSHIP & PASSPORT INVESTMENT PROGRAMME€¦ · Cyprus citizenship also includes access to Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. Become a European Union (Cypriot)

Cyprus programme is making it the most popular option for those wanting FULL EU Citizenship & Passport and the Freedom to Live or Work in Europe If you are looking to travel in Europe without the flexibility to Live or work in anywhere in Europe then we recommend reviewing the European Residency Programme Options If you are looking for a FULL EU Citizenship with the Freedom, Security and Mobility for you and Your family to Live, Work & Study anywhere in Europe then you should review the FULL EU Citizenship programmes that are only offered by UK, Malta and Cyprus
