About Cyprus Residency

The Republic of Cyprus is a sovereign nation in the Eastern Mediterranean which comprises the southern two thirds of the island of Cyprus, the third largest and third most populated island in the Mediterranean which is shared with the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. Geographically closer to Asia but historically, culturally, and politically linked with Europe, Cyprus is located south of Turkey, west of Syria and Lebanon, north of Palestine and Egypt, and southeast of Greece. It also hosts two important military bases, Akrotiri and Dhekelia, under British sovereignty. Cyprus’ central location offers residents of Cyprus easy access to the Middle East, Europe, Africa, and Asia.

After declaring independence from the United Kingdom, Cyprus became a member of the Commonwealth in 1961, later joining the European Union and adopting the euro in 2004. Cyprus enjoys an advanced, high-income economy which is integrated with the rest of Europe, and boasts a very high Human Development Index. Long popular with international tourists and investors, Cyprus offers beautiful beaches, a warm year-round climate, extensive archaeological and historical sites, and a rich culture.
