FAQs
What is residency by investment in Cyprus?
It is a legal residence permit granted when you make a qualifying investment in Cyprus — usually property, a company, or startup capital — and show a secure source of funds. Cyprus offers three main routes: Permanent Residence under Regulation 6.2, Categories A–F, and the Cyprus Start-Up Visa. We confirm which route fits your investment and family situation before you file.
How long does Regulation 6.2 take?
Timelines vary by office workload and completeness. After a complete pack and appointment, decisions can take weeks to a few months. We share current local estimates during intake.
Can family members be included?
Usually yes, depending on the route rules. We confirm eligibility and prepare the family pack alongside the main application.
What counts as acceptable source of funds?
Salary, business income, savings, or sale proceeds with documentary proof. We build a clear trail with bank letters and statements.
Do you assist with translations and apostilles?
Yes. We coordinate certified translations and legalisations and confirm when originals will be checked at appointments.
What if my investment changes after filing?
Some changes require updates or re-filing. We advise on implications and next steps.
How much do I need to invest for Cyprus permanent residence?
Under Regulation 6.2, the minimum qualifying investment is currently €300,000 in property or equivalent assets, plus proof of secure annual income from abroad. Categories A–F have different thresholds depending on the activity type. We confirm the exact current requirements and investment structure at intake.
How much does MegaServe's investment residency service cost?
Total cost has two parts: MegaServe's coordination fee (which covers eligibility check, source-of-funds file, document preparation, submission, and authority follow-ups) and government/authority fees (application fee, biometrics, residency cards, and any legalisation or translation required). We provide a clear written quote after the initial intake call with no hidden charges. Family member fees are billed per applicant.
Nothing here is legal advice; requirements are confirmed case-by-case and by the competent authorities.
