Amendments To The Naturalization By Investment Scheme In Cyprus

As of the 15^th of May 2019, applications for naturalization through investment will need to meet certain criteria (in addition to the ones currently in force), in accordance with the recent decision of the Council of Ministers.

More specifically, a non-Cypriot citizen who satisfies the economic criterion listed below as A.1 and also satisfies one of the economic criteria listed under A.2 to A.5, either personally or through a company/companies in which he or she participates as a shareholder or through investments done by his or her spouse or jointly or even as a high-ranking manager of a company/companies, may apply for the acquisition of Cypriot citizenship through naturalization by exception.
