About
Attracting foreign direct investment is at the heart of Cyprus’ development strategy. Accordingly, the Cyprus government introduced the Permanent Residence (PR) programme to provide non-EU citizens with the ability to obtain, through investment in Cyprus, permanent residence status that is valid for life and can be passed on to their dependents.
Cyprus has been a full member of the European Union since 2004. This small but dynamic country has a modern, free-market, service-based economy with an effective and transparent regulatory and legal framework, and a highly competitive tax system that is bolstered by an extensive network of over 60 double tax agreements in force worldwide.
A business-friendly environment and advanced infrastructure, combined with a high quality of life, allows investors and their families to enjoy the best of both worlds. Ease of doing business, safety, stability, year-round sunshine, beautiful beaches and mountains, as well as an array of historical and cultural attractions, all combine to make Cyprus one of the most attractive destinations in the EU for both living and doing business.
