Cyprus continues to attract international investors and families who wish to secure long-term residence in the European Union. One of the most popular routes remains the Category 6(2) Permanent Residency Programme, which grants qualifying applicants and their families the right to reside indefinitely in Cyprus.

Over the past few years, the scheme has undergone important changes. Income thresholds have been raised, the documentation required has become stricter, and the authorities have introduced tighter monitoring of compliance. At the same time, many online guides and older FAQs are now outdated.

This article provides an updated FAQ together with practical scenarios that we frequently encounter in our practice. It is designed to give prospective applicants clear, reliable information on how the programme works in 2025.
