Cyprus

Cyprus is a modern, cosmopolitan business hub, strategically located at the crossroads of three major continents: Europe, Africa and Asia. As such, the small island has become a fundamental financial center, and a gateway for conducting business between east and west, where opportunities for investment across a wide range of sectors flourish. Cyprus also boasts a rich heritage and diverse culture, as well as some of the most beautiful natural habitats in the world.

Why Investing in Cyprus?

A gateway to Europe (Obtain Cyprus / EU Citizenship)
The Cyprus Citizenship by investment scheme allows third country nationals and non-Cypriot high net worth individuals, along with their families, to acquire Cypriot passport by investing at least 2millions in real estate. Cypriot passport holders are, by extension, EU citizens, which makes them eligible to enter, reside, study and work in the EU. Passport holders are not required to permanently reside in Cyprus.

Investment Hotspot
The economy is expected to continue its cyclical upswing. In 2018, its global performance and appeal have been internationally recognized as a “Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Superstar”.

Competitive Tax Regimes
Cyprus is a highly reputable and reliable international business center with a sophisticated infrastructure. It entices investors with one of the lowest corporate income tax rates in Europe (12.5%), advantageous Double Tax Treaties (DTTs) with 64 partner countries and instant company registration (1 to 3 days only).

Emerging Regional Player 
The ongoing large-scale infrastructure projects and the thriving oil and gas sector have cemented Cyprus’ position on the investment map.
