Cyprus resettlement request

When it comes to the residence requirements of Cypriot immigrants, we should analyze them from the immigration policy of Cyprus. In 2009, Cyprus launched a plan to purchase 300,000 euros of real estate and obtain a permanent residence permit for the whole family. 2065438+Some modifications were made in February 2006, and some details and new policies were added:

(1) Immigrants to Cyprus do not need to stick a China passport for permanent residence, but will be issued a permanent residence card.

(2) The principal applicant and his/her spouse's parents also have the right to apply for immigration to Cyprus, and they can get a green card in two months.

(3) Within one year after obtaining the permanent residence in Cyprus, the holder of the permanent residence permit must go to Cyprus to obtain the permanent residence.

(4) Permanent residence permit holders and their family members included in the permit application need to visit Cyprus at least once every two years 1 time.

From the policy point of view, to maintain permanent residence, you only need to log in to Cyprus 1 time every two years. For immigrants who buy a house of 300,000 euros and become naturalized in Cyprus, investment immigrant applicants need to meet the following conditions in terms of residence:

(1) The applicant must legally reside in Cyprus;

(2) The applicant must have lived in Cyprus for 365 days in the year before the application and have lived in Cyprus continuously for 7 years;

(3) If the parents or children of Cypriots apply for naturalization, they must live in Cyprus for 365 days in the year before the application and have lived in Cyprus for five consecutive years;

(4) If the spouse of a Cypriot citizen applies for naturalization, the marriage has existed for at least 3 years and the spouse has lived in Cyprus for 2 years;

(5) Applicants for naturalization need to attend 1-2 Greek interview;

(6) For two consecutive days, he published a statement on his willingness to become a Cypriot citizen in a local newspaper in Cyprus.

Therefore, it can be said that buying a house for 30 euros (once every two years) to maintain permanent residence in Cyprus is not subject to immigration supervision, and naturalization is subject to immigration supervision requirements (you must live in Cyprus for 365 days in the year before application and live in Cyprus for 7 consecutive years).

Immigrant advantage

First, superior and advanced welfare conditions

With the increasing population in China, many people find it very difficult to find a job in China, which makes many investment immigrants very optimistic about the social welfare treatment abroad. Cyprus has become the focus of attention because its good welfare conditions have attracted many investment immigrants, and people's health, illness and death will be taken care of by the Cyprus government. For example, in Cyprus, you can enjoy free education, free emergency treatment, unemployment benefits and pensions. These tangible benefits are very beneficial to many immigrants. In addition, the Mediterranean region is the favorite of immigrants because of its unique scenery, supporting tourism service facilities and environmentally friendly and healthy eating environment.

Second, the advantages of buying a house abroad

At a time when domestic housing prices remain high, the adjusted national housing price policy has also made more and more investors reluctant to invest in real estate, which has made many investors who want to invest in real estate give up hope. Different from China, foreign real estate investment environment is developing more and more, and the investment value and rising space are getting higher and higher. Therefore, choosing to buy real estate in Cyprus is the best choice for many investors. The house price in Cyprus is not only low, but also has a very large room for appreciation and a very good location. These special advantages make more and more investors participate in the process of buying houses by Cypriot immigrants.

Third, foreign identities gain more advantages.

After emigrating to Cyprus, you can obtain the legal citizenship of Cyprus. Such a foreign status has advantages in many aspects, such as helping to lower the threshold of domestic first-class colleges and universities and gaining priority in admission. At the same time, investment immigrants can also choose to live in the country, but at the same time they can retain their status as legal citizens of Cyprus.

For many investment immigrants, going to Cyprus can not only buy cheap real estate, but also be used for their own use and investment. You can still get a green card when you buy a house, and you can still retain your dual identity at home and abroad. Therefore, immigration to Cyprus can quickly become a hot search list for immigrants.
