The Cyprus route grants permanent residence rather than citizenship. The official guidance confirms qualifying property, company-share, and fund routes from €300,000, with annual income of €50,000 plus stated additions for a spouse and minor children.
Approval must be taken up within one year. The residence right is unlimited, while the card is renewed every ten years; the status can lapse after two consecutive years outside Cyprus or after permanent residence is obtained elsewhere.
