Cyprus is considering easing residency permit requirements for foreign nationals under a proposed bill.
\nThe proposed legislative changes would grant residency permits to third-country nationals who invest \u20ac250,000 in housing and have an annual income of \u20ac40,000.
\nAccording to the bill, a residence permit may be granted to a third-country national who intends to reside in the Republic without engaging in any employment or other economic activity in the Republic and has at his disposal an insured annual income of \u20ac40,000 (increasing by \u20ac10,000 for each additional family member) as well as suitable owned accommodation in the Republic for himself and his family members worth \u20ac250,000.
\nThe proposal is currently under debate in the House Internal Affairs Committee.
\nPhilenews reports that some stakeholders support lowering the housing investment threshold to \u20ac150,000, arguing it would facilitate purchases of existing homes and apartments.
\nOthers counter that a lower threshold could increase housing demand and prices, negatively impacting local buyers.
\nThe regulations aim to attract foreign investment while ensuring the financial stability of those obtaining residency.
\nThe proposal covers various categories, including self-employed, salaried, investor, and self-sufficient foreigners.residency permits. residency permit requirements, foreign nationals, legislative changes<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
