Cyprus Passports Sold Out Until 2020

New applications for the Cypriot passport and citizenship will be considered only in 2021 because the limit of requests for both 2019 and 2020 has already been met.

Recently, the Cypriot authorities rechecked all previous and successful applicants and enforced a more strict due diligence process for the new candidates for the naturalisation through investment. However, still, a large number of applicants are waiting to obtain the citizenship of Cyprus. In Cyprus, according to the law, only 700 foreign investors can get naturalisation certificates per year. 

in 2019, the 700 investors already are in the final stages of obtaining the citizenship in Cyprus, and according to the information of the Kathimerini it seems that for 2020 the 700 applications exceeded as well.
