The program requires a minimum investment of 300,000 in one of four routes: new residential real estate, commercial/other real estate, shares in a Cyprus company with at least five employees, or units in a Cyprus-regulated investment fund. This investment must be alongside verified income from abroad of 50,000 for the main applicant plus 15,000 for a spouse and 10,000 per minor child.

Parents and parents-in-law are not eligible dependents under the 2023 revision. Applicants must maintain the investment, provide periodic confirmations, and meet clean-record and accommodation requirements. Investors evaluating asset options can also buy property in cyprus [https://chris-michael.com.cy/] to align with eligibility criteria.

"The 2026 framework gives investors predictable rules and faster outcomes while preserving program integrity," The Civil Registry and Migration Department continues to require proof of funds from abroad, suitable accommodation, and regular compliance updates, ensuring that residence rights are matched by long-term commitment to Cyprus," a spokesperson for Chris Michael Property Group explained.

Limassol remains a focal point for premium assets, from seafront homes to income-generating units. Applicants targeting the coastal city can explore property for sale in limassol cyprus [https://chris-michael.com.cy/properties-in-limassol/] to pair lifestyle with long-term investment objectives, while fund and corporate routes remain available for diversified strategies under the regulation.
