Cyprus — Your European Hub
One EU jurisdiction for your company, your banking, your residency and your family’s long-term wealth. English common-law system, English-speaking professional community, and a permanent residency programme from €300,000 — coordinated by a single private advisor.
Cyprus has been an EU member since 2004. Schengen accession is in progress; full Schengen rights apply only once accession is complete.
One Advisor, Four Foundations
Instead of sending you between unrelated lawyers, accountants, banks and agents, Accenica manages the full Cyprus setup through a single private-advisory relationship.
Company Formation
An EU company built on English common-law tradition — straightforward administration, respected internationally. Typically ready in 2–3 weeks, with banking introduction included.
Company formation →European Banking
We prepare your KYC and source-of-funds file and manage the process with leading Cyprus banks as an authorised banking representative, including applications involving Bank of Cyprus. Final approval rests with the bank.
Bank account opening →Permanent Residency
A €300,000 qualifying property secures permanent residence in Cyprus for your family — indefinite, with low physical-presence requirements. Decided in 2–3 months.
Cyprus residency →Trusts & Wealth
Cyprus International Trusts, built on English common-law principles with statutory protection, structure succession and protect family assets across borders.
Trust formation →Permanent From Day One
The fast-track route (Regulation 6.2) grants permanent residence that never expires — one of the most stable EU residency options for international families.
Spouse and unmarried children under 18 are covered by one qualifying property. Since the 2023 reform, parents and parents-in-law are no longer eligible under the fast-track route, and adult children aged 25+ require their own qualifying investment. Figures are indicative and subject to programme rules, due diligence and government approval.

Main international airport and a growing fintech and marina community on the south-east coast.
Nicosia
The capital — administrative, academic and corporate, inland at the heart of the island.
Ayia Napa
South-eastern resort coast with a marina development and strong seasonal rental demand.

Cyprus, Answered
How much do I need to invest for Cyprus Permanent Residency?
The fast-track route (Regulation 6.2) requires a minimum €300,000 investment in qualifying new-build property, plus a secured annual income from abroad of at least €50,000, increased by €15,000 for a spouse and €10,000 for each minor child.
Does the residency expire?
No. Cyprus Permanent Residency is indefinite — it does not need to be renewed, provided you visit Cyprus at least once every two years.
Do I have to live in Cyprus?
No. There is no minimum-stay requirement beyond a single visit once every two years to maintain the permit.
Who in my family can be included?
Your spouse and unmarried children under 18 are covered by one qualifying property. Since the 2023 reform, parents and parents-in-law are no longer eligible, and adult children aged 25+ require their own qualifying investment.
Does residency make me a Cyprus tax resident?
No — immigration status and tax residence are separate. Cyprus tax residence is established by physical presence or the 60-day rule. Many permanent residents deliberately keep their existing tax footprint elsewhere.
How long does it take?
A complete fast-track application is typically decided within two to three months of submission.

Clarity matters in a regulated advisory business. Here is exactly where Accenica acts, and where licensed partners and the relevant authorities take over.
What we do
- Coordinate your Cyprus Permanent Residency application from file to approval
- Manage qualifying-property due diligence with licensed Cypriot lawyers
- Prepare income, source-of-funds and family documentation to standard
- Introduce vetted banking, legal and tax partners on the island
What licensed partners & authorities do
- We are a private advisory firm — legal filing and conveyancing are done by licensed Cypriot lawyers
- We do not guarantee approval; the Civil Registry and Migration Department decides
- Residency does not by itself confer Cyprus tax residency, citizenship or the right to work
- We do not present any property as “guaranteed qualifying” before legal due diligence
