Cyprus has become increasingly popular to overseas investors, given all the benefits of owning property there. The beautiful Mediterranean location has been enticing more and more foreign investment, with a rising number of British, Russian and Chinese expats calling the island their home. More recently, oil and natural gas has been discovered around the waters of Cyprus, which has bolstered the importance and equity of the island’s location.
Cyprus joining the Eurozone has given foreign investors a path into the European market, whilst taking advantage of the lower costs, less risk and access to a universal currency. The island also has one of the most attractive tax systems in the world, with a corporate tax rate of 12.5%. For any investors out there, now is the perfect time to begin your business journey and thrive on the island of Cyprus.
The Cyprus Residency programme is one of the most affordable Residency Programmes in Europe, is easy to comply with, and offers fast processing time of approximately 2 – 3 months. A Residency Permit requires investors to only visit Cyprus once every two years, without compromising on its promise of permanency.

This simple process should take no longer than 2 months and can begin right after the acquisition of real estate for an amount no less than €300,000
8 Things about Cypriot TAX LAW:
*Subject to applicable tax legislation
Cypriot legend claims Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, was born and rose from the foam (“afros,” in Greek) near a rock off what’s now Aphrodite’s Beach.
Waves breaking over the rock create pillars of foam that islanders say look just like the goddess herself.
However, the place name in Greek, Petra tou Romiou (Rock of the Greeks), has nothing to do with Aphrodite. It’s associated with Greek hero Digenis Akritas, who threw huge rocks at his enemies.
Those that missed landed in the sea — and became tourist attractions.
To be exact, the Cypriot dessert wine commandaria is recognized as the world’s oldest named wine.
Knight crusaders are thought to have named it in the 13th century, but it may have been made for 5,000 years. King Richard the Lionheart of England is said to have been so taken with commandaria that at his wedding he pronounced it “the wine of kings and the king of wines.”
Produced in the fertile high-altitude slopes in the southwest of Cyprus, it has a sweet, herby taste that evokes the island’s aromas.
Eat it raw and it squeaks in your teeth, grill or fry it and it’s crispy and gooey — haloumi cheese is served almost everywhere on Cyprus.
It’s typically made from goat’s or sheep’s milk — sometimes both — that’s been soaked in brine and mint. Many Cypriot families make it themselves.
The United States and the EU have recognized haloumi as a traditional Cypriot product, so officially haloumi is only haloumi if it’s made in Cyprus.
The Tombs of the Kings are Paphos’s main tourist attraction and an important reasons for the site’s World Heritage listing.
Called “monumental” and “magnificent” by the UN, the 4th-century-BC resting places are carved from solid rock, complete with Doric pillars.
They’re unique in Cyprus because of their peristyle court structure, influenced by Egyptian architecture.
In layman’s terms, this means they were built like courtyards with colonnades and roofs. The ancient Egyptians believed the tombs of the dead should resemble the houses of the living.
Despite the name, no kings are actually buried here — only members of high society. The tombs got their name because of their grand appearance.
