How much money do I need to get permanent residency in Cyprus?

The fast-track needs a €300,000 investment plus €50,000 a year income from abroad. Category F has no investment but needs at least €9,568 a year secured foreign income (plus €4,613 per dependant). Add €500 in fees plus €70 per person, and legal costs.

Can I buy property in Cyprus and get residency?

Yes. Buying a new home from a developer for at least €300,000 plus VAT qualifies for the fast-track, if the money comes from abroad and you meet the income test. A resale home doesn't qualify under Category A. See the property requirements.

How long does it take to get permanent residency in Cyprus?

The Migration Department estimates about 2 months for a complete fast-track application. Category F has no published time and lawyers report waits of several years. Long-term resident status needs 5 years of legal residence first.

Is the Cyprus golden visa still available in 2026?

Yes. The fast-track permanent residence scheme under Regulation 6(2) is open under its 4th Revision, in force since 2 May 2023. What closed in 2020 was the separate citizenship-by-investment programme.

Can my parents or adult children get Cyprus PR through my permit?

Parents, no. The fast-track dropped them on 2 May 2023, and Category F only covers a spouse and children under 18. Adult children can join the fast-track as dependent students aged 18–25 (with €10,000 more income each) or with an extra €300,000 investment per adult child.

Do I need to renew Cyprus permanent residency?

No, the right itself is permanent. You replace the card every 10 years. Fast-track holders also prove their investment every year and send criminal record certificates every 3 years.

Do I need to live in Cyprus to keep permanent residency?

Not full time. The permit lapses if you're absent for 2 years or take up permanent residence elsewhere. If you're abroad when it's approved, you must take up residence within 1 year.

Does Cyprus permanent residency let me work?

Not on the fast-track or Category F. Fast-track holders may act as directors of the company they invested in and be unpaid directors of other Cyprus companies. Long-term residents have wider rights.

How hard is it to get citizenship in Cyprus?

It takes time and Greek. You need 7 years of legal residence in the last 10, including 12 continuous months before applying, B1 Greek and a clean record. Cyprus allows dual citizenship with the UK.

Where do I apply if I live in Paphos?

Immigration permit applications go to the Migration Department in Nicosia, not the Paphos immigration unit. Your lawyer can submit for you with a signed authorisation.

What's the difference between EU and non-EU permanent residency in Cyprus?

EU citizens who have lived here for 5 years apply for a permanent registration certificate on form MEU3. Non-EU citizens, which includes UK-only passport holders who moved after 2020, need an Immigration Permit (fast-track or Category F) or long-term resident status.

How do I check the status of my PR application?

Text STATUS, a space and your application number to 1199. The number is on the fee receipt from your submission, and each text costs €0.034.

Cyprus Permanent Residency: The 3 Routes Open to UK Citizens in 2026

Since Brexit, a UK-only passport holder gets Cyprus permanent residency in one of three ways: invest €300,000 under the fast-track (about 2 months), prove foreign income under Category F (a multi-year wait), or hold a temporary permit for 5 years and apply for long-term resident status. Here's how to pick.

Check my PR readiness Talk to an immigration lawyer

The short version

UK citizens are third-country nationals in Cyprus for any move after 31 December 2020. The yellow slip is not an option unless you also hold an EU passport or were resident before 2021.

Fast-track (Regulation 6(2)): invest at least €300,000 (usually a new-build home from a developer), show €50,000 a year income from abroad, and expect a decision in about 2 months.

Category F: show at least €9,568 a year secured foreign income (+€4,613 per dependant), no investment needed, but there's no published processing time and lawyers report waits of several years.

Long-term resident status: after 5 years of legal residence on a temporary permit, with a Greek A2 exam.

Fees: €500 per immigration permit application plus €70 per person for the Alien Registration Certificate. Budget far more for lawyers, translations and medical tests.

Keep it: the permit lapses if you're absent from Cyprus for 2 years. The card is replaced every 10 years.

What Cyprus permanent residency gives you

Cyprus permanent residency is an Immigration Permit issued by the Migration Department under the Aliens and Immigration Regulations. It lets you, your spouse and your children under 18 live in Cyprus with no end date.

Family at the gate of a new whitewashed home with a young olive tree in the Paphos hills — Settling in for the long term in the Paphos hills

The right to reside has unlimited validity. The plastic residence card expires after 10 years and you replace it, but nobody re-tests your eligibility at that point. Cards issued to children are valid until they turn 18.

What it doesn't give you matters just as much:

It isn't citizenship. You don't get a Cypriot or EU passport. Citizenship is a separate application after at least 7 years of legal residence.
It isn't EU free movement. A Cyprus PR card doesn't give you the right to live or work in France or Spain.
It isn't tax residency. Where you pay tax depends on the 183-day rule or the 60-day rule, not on your permit.
It isn't a work permit on the two main routes. Fast-track and Category F holders agree not to take employment in Cyprus.

The practical benefit for most British families is certainty. Once you hold the permit, you stop renewing a temporary permit every year, and permanent residents qualify for Cyprus's public health system, GeSY, on the same basis as locals. See the GeSY guide for how registration works.

The condition that catches people: the permit ceases to be valid if you're absent from Cyprus for 2 years, or if you take up permanent residence in another country.

Watch out

Brexit: UK citizens can't use the yellow slip

UK nationals who moved after 31 December 2020 are third-country nationals. The yellow slip (MEU1) is an EU citizen registration certificate. It only helps you if you also hold an EU passport (Irish, for example). UK nationals who lived in Cyprus before 2021 keep their rights under the Withdrawal Agreement and should hold the newer MUKW biometric card. Everyone else starts with a temporary residence permit and then applies for one of the permanent routes on this page.

The verdict

If you're buying a new-build home worth €300,000 or more anyway, the fast-track is the obvious choice: same permanent status, decided in months rather than years. If you're retiring on pensions and don't want to lock €300,000 into property, you'll live on a renewable temporary permit while a Category F application waits in the queue. If you're working in Cyprus, long-term resident status after five years is the natural path, but it needs a Greek exam.

Route 1: Cyprus permanent residency by investment

The fast-track under Regulation 6(2) is what most websites call the "Cyprus golden visa". You invest at least €300,000 in one of four categories and the Migration Department decides the application in an estimated 2 months from a complete submission.

The four investment categories are:

Category	What you buy	Resale allowed?
A	A house or apartment, first sale from a development company, €300,000 + VAT	No
B	Offices, shops, hotels or similar, €300,000 total	Yes
C	€300,000 in the share capital of a Cyprus company with 5+ staff	n/a
D	€300,000 in units of a Cyprus investment fund (AIF, AIFLNP, RAIF)	n/a

New villa with a pool in the hills above Paphos — A new-build villa in the hills above Paphos

On top of the investment you need a secured income of €50,000 a year, plus €15,000 for a spouse and €10,000 per minor child. For Category A (residential) that income must come from abroad and be proven by a tax return or an independent accountant's certificate. The money for the purchase must also arrive from a bank account outside Cyprus. A Cyprus mortgage can't fund the qualifying €300,000.

Most British applicants use Category A, and most of the detail sits in the property rules. Read the full residency by investment guide and the €300,000 property requirements before you reserve anything.

Route 2: Category F for retirees and people with foreign income

Category F is the income route. You need a secured annual income from abroad of at least €9,568 for yourself and €4,613 for each dependant, from pensions, dividends, interest or rent. There's no investment and no age limit.

The catch is time. The Migration Department publishes a target of about 2 months for the fast-track, but no processing time for Category F. Immigration lawyers in Cyprus report multi-year waits, and in April 2025 the Auditor-General told MPs that about 3,000 permanent residence applications had built up on hold. While you wait, a pending application gives you no right to stay, so you keep renewing a visitor temporary residence permit (the pink slip) every year. For the latest rule changes, see our Cyprus immigration updates.

Two more rules shape Category F. You can't work, run a business or practise a profession in Cyprus. And the €9,568 is a regulatory minimum, not a comfortable budget: the pink slip you hold while waiting is assessed against a higher income test, which lawyers currently put at about €24,000 a year.

The full process, documents and the pink-slip bridge are in the Category F residency guide, and the one-page version is in our Category F definition. If you're retiring, start at the retiring to Cyprus hub.

Route 3: Long-term resident status after five years

GOV.UK's own guidance for British people notes that you may be able to apply for permanent residency once you've lived in Cyprus for 5 years or more. That's long-term resident status, an EU-wide status that Cyprus grants to third-country nationals who have lived there legally and continuously for the five years before applying and hold a valid residence permit.

Absences don't break the five years if each is under 6 consecutive months and they total no more than 10 months across the period. Since 2024 applicants must also pass a Ministry of Education exam in Greek at A2 level plus a test on Cypriot society, according to local immigration lawyers.

This route suits people who moved on a work permit or as the family of a worker. Whether years on a visitor permit count is a question for an immigration lawyer on your specific file, so don't plan around it without advice.

Other Cyprus permanent residency routes (Categories A to E)

Category F is one of six Immigration Permit categories. The other five are for people who'll work in Cyprus, so they rarely fit a British retiree or investor. The capital figures are the Migration Department's approximate amounts; the Immigration Control Committee can accept less.

Category	Who it's for	Capital
A	Self-employed in agriculture, livestock, poultry or fish farming	About €430,000
B	Self-employed in mining, with a mining licence	About €350,000
C	Self-employed in a trade or profession	About €260,000
D	Self-employed in a science or profession Cyprus needs more of	Not set
E	Offered permanent employment in Cyprus	Not set

British people who lived in Cyprus before 2021 don't need any of these. They're covered by the Withdrawal Agreement: after 5 years' residence they apply on form MUKW3 for a permanent card valid 10 years. Everyone else chooses between the fast-track, Category F and long-term residence above.

Who Cyprus permanent residency covers: spouse, children and parents

Both main routes cover your spouse and children under 18. Beyond that, the rules split, and this is where families get caught out.

Family member	Fast-track (Reg. 6(2))	Category F
Spouse	Included, +€15,000 income. Can hold a separate permit for a separate fee	Included, +€4,613 income
Children under 18	Included, +€10,000 income each	Included, +€4,613 income each
Students aged 18–25, dependent	Own application; you show +€10,000 a year each	Not on the official list (some firms say up to 25)
Adult children, not dependent	+€300,000 investment each (€600,000 for one)	Need their own permit
Parents or parents-in-law	No, since 2 May 2023	No

Children's cards expire on their 18th birthday. If your 16-year-old will study in the UK and come home in the holidays, work out their next status now, not the month they turn 18. The investor-route detail, including the March 2026 rule for students, is in the residency by investment guide.

How to get permanent residency in Cyprus: the roadmap

The order most UK applicants follow. Your lawyer may run steps 3 to 5 in parallel.

1
Enter Cyprus as a visitor
Day 1
UK passport holders can stay up to 90 days in any 180 without a visa. That clock is your deadline to apply for a temporary residence permit if you're staying on.
2
Apply for a temporary residence permit
Within 90 days
Most retirees and investors apply for a visitor permit on form MVIS8 (€70 plus €70 first registration). It's issued for 1 year and renewed annually. The Migration Department aims to decide within about 4 months.
3
Choose your route and your property
Months 1–3
Fast-track buyers sign a sale contract with a developer and register it with the Land Registry. Category F applicants need an owned or rented home. Use the readiness check and a lawyer before you pay a deposit.
4
Gather UK documents
4–8 weeks
An ACRO police certificate, income evidence (tax return or accountant's certificate), marriage and birth certificates, all apostilled. From 1 September 2026, blood tests for hepatitis B and C, HIV and syphilis, plus a chest X-ray, done outside Cyprus and certified.
5
Submit form MIP2 in Nicosia
1 appointment
Immigration permit applications go to the Migration Department in Nicosia, in person or through an authorised representative. Pay €500 plus €70 per person for the Alien Registration Certificate.
6
Biometrics and the card
After approval
You give a photo, fingerprints and signature (photo only for children under 6). Then you collect the card and, if you're still living abroad, move to Cyprus within 1 year.

What Cyprus permanent residency costs

Government fees are fixed. Everything else is a range, so ask your lawyer for a written quote.

Cost	Fast-track	Category F	Source
Application fee (whole family)	€500	€500	Migration Department
Alien Registration Certificate	€70 per person	€70 per person	Migration Department
Adding a dependant later	€50 per person	€50 per person	Migration Department
Visitor permit while you wait	Often not needed long	€70 a year per person	Migration Department
Qualifying investment	€300,000 + VAT	None	Regulation 6(2) policy
Lawyer's PR package	About €3,000 single, €3,500 family (one firm's published fee)	Quoted per case	Cyprus immigration law firm
Apostille on each UK document	£45 (FCDO standard service)	£45 (FCDO standard service)	GOV.UK
Health insurance	Private until you're in GeSY	Private while on a pink slip	Quote-based

Certified translations and medical tests are extra and vary by provider. The lawyer figure is one Cyprus law firm's published fast-track package, not a market rate; your introduced lawyer quotes in writing.

Good to know

Worked example: a couple with one child

Category F. Three visitor permits cost €420 in year one (€70 + €70 each; the first-registration fee is what gets you your Alien Registration Certificate) and €210 a year after that. Add the €500 Category F application. If the wait runs three years, that's about €1,340 in government fees before the card arrives, plus apostilles at £45 a document, medical tests, insurance and your lawyer.

Fast-track. €500 plus 3 × €70 Alien Registration Certificates, €710, if you don't already hold them, and a few months on a visitor permit at most. The real extra is VAT on the new home: €15,000 at 5% or €57,000 at 19% on a €300,000 purchase. The property requirements guide shows when 5% applies.

Permanent residency, tax residency and citizenship are three different things

Your permit decides whether you can live in Cyprus. It doesn't decide where you pay tax. Cyprus tax residency comes from the 183-day rule or the 60-day rule, and on the UK side HMRC applies the Statutory Residence Test. A fast-track holder who spends 200 days a year in London is still UK tax resident.

The 60-day rule has five conditions, including a business, job or office in Cyprus. Fast-track and Category F holders mostly can't meet that, because they agree not to work here. Most retirees and investors become tax resident under the 183-day rule instead. Our UK to Cyprus tax hub walks through both sides.

Citizenship is a separate application to the Ministry of Interior. Since the December 2023 amendment you need 7 years of legal residence in the last 10, including the 12 months immediately before applying, plus Greek at B1 level. Years on a permanent permit count as legal residence. The old citizenship-by-investment scheme closed in 2020 and there's no way to buy a passport today.

Keeping your Cyprus permanent residency

The right to live here is permanent, but it isn't paperwork-free. What you must keep doing depends on the route.

Both routes: don't be absent from Cyprus for 2 years, don't take up permanent residence in another country, and if you're abroad when the permit is approved, move within 1 year. Replace the card every 10 years; the Migration Department books card renewals by appointment, requested by email through its homepage.
Fast-track only: every year, prove you still hold the investment and, if you're not a GeSY beneficiary, that you have health insurance. Every 3 years, send fresh criminal record certificates for you and adult family members. Income is no longer re-checked.
Selling up: on the fast-track, selling without an immediate replacement of equal or greater value cancels the permit, with no grace period.

One practical tip while any application is pending: text STATUS, a space and your application number to 1199. The number is on the fee receipt you got when you applied, and each text costs €0.034. It saves a two-hour drive to Nicosia to ask.

Yes, but not automatically. Since Brexit you need an immigration permit: the €300,000 fast-track, Category F, or long-term resident status after 5 years. UK nationals resident before 2021 keep their rights under the Withdrawal Agreement.
