Cyprus Permanent Recidency

Make Cyprus your new home

Cyprus has always been considered as an ideal destination for Permanent Residence by Non-EU Nationals. An Immigration Permit under Regulation 6(2) gives Non-EU nationals the right to permanently reside in Cyprus. The permit is valid for the entire family including dependent children over 18 years of age, subject to certain conditions being fulfilled. Furthermore, the process is extremely straightforward and can even be arranged through your representative, without your physical presence in Cyprus.
