Blue Shore Advisors guides you through every step, from choosing the right property to holding your permit in hand.
Key facts
For informational purposes only, not legal or financial advice. Consult with qualified legal and financial professionals regarding your specific situation.
The Programme
Cyprus’s Category 6(2) permit is one of the fastest, simplest ways to gain a foothold in Europe. You buy a new-build home, and in return you and your family receive a residency permit that lasts for life.
There’s no need to move to Cyprus full time. You simply visit once every two years to keep your permit active, giving you and your family the freedom to build your life there at your own pace.
Eligibility
Cyprus keeps this refreshingly simple. It’s open to any nationality, with a short, clear list of requirements.
The qualifying investment of at least €300,000, plus VAT, in a new-build residential property.
Steady annual income from outside Cyprus, such as a pension, dividends, or rental income.
A clean background for you and any family joining you.
Health insurance covering you and your family for as long as you hold the permit.
Freedom to invest, without a local job: passive income and owning a Cyprus company are both welcome.
Benefits by Stage
Cyprus makes this easy: your permanent residency arrives on day one, and citizenship is a further, optional step for families who choose to make Cyprus home.

About Cyprus
Cyprus is a sunny Mediterranean island where English is spoken everywhere, in shops, schools, and government offices alike. It’s a full EU member state, consistently ranks among Europe’s safest countries, and sits in a brilliant spot between Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, with easy flights to major cities across all three.
