Cyprus
Limassol · Larnaca · Nicosia · Paphos
The near-abroad of choice — a fast-growing Lebanese community, 40 minutes from Beirut, and one of the top foreign-buyer nationalities in the island's land registry.
Can foreigners buy? Non-EU buyers need a (routinely granted) Council of Ministers permit, generally for one property. Permanent residency requires a €300,000+ NEW-BUILD purchase — resale properties do not qualify, a detail Lebanese buyers have been caught out by.

Residency & golden visa in Cyprus — how it works
- 1The fast-track permanent residency route requires €300,000+ (plus VAT) in a NEW property bought from a developer — resales do not qualify.
- 2You'll also show secure annual income from abroad (roughly €50k+, more with dependants).
- 3PR covers your spouse and children; physical presence requirement is one visit every two years.
- 4Buy the property through a lawyer who handles the immigration filing in the same engagement — it's the standard package here.
