    The Benefits of Cypriot Global Citizenship

    The benefits of Cypriot citizenship are a major driving force as to why high net worth individuals choose this country. Cyprus lies at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa making it a perfect business location. It has seen intense foreign investment in the past few years, spurred partly by the island’s economic growth; its well-educated, multilingual workforce; and the government’s focus on establishing a very attractive investment and taxation regime. Cypriot citizens enjoy, for example, a low corporate tax rate and no wealth, inheritance, or capital gains taxes. There is also no restriction on repatriation of profits.

    In addition to these obvious benefits, Cyprus is a member of the 28-nation European Union, so all passport holders are immediately entitled to the advantages of European citizenship. Cyprus does not impose physical residency on its global citizens; therefore, investors may settle and base their businesses in any EU member country.

    The Cyprus luxury real estate market is quite superb. There are approximately 25 large-scale development and investment opportunities, including the fabulous Del Mar and ONE in Limassol, in which global citizens can invest, both to achieve their citizenship and enjoy permanent luxury living.

    The Cyprus Citizenship Application Process

    Applying could hardly be more simple, straightforward, or speedy. Applicants, their spouses, and their approved children (under 18 years of age) submit the appropriate paperwork, through their immigration representative, to the Cypriot Ministries of Interior and Finance.

    The Council of Ministers gives its decision within 3 months from application and then issues the Certificate of Naturalization. The successful applicants then visit Cyprus to take the Oath of Allegiance, and within another 2 business days, they receive their Cyprus passports.

    Conclusion

    The ease and speed with which applicants and their family members may become citizens of Cyprus makes it the first choice for many high net worth investors.
