Cyprus Golden Visa Cost Calculator

The starting investment is €300,000 for every route. The main applicant's spouse, minor child or qualifying study-route adult child does not increase it. Each non-dependent adult child does: one changes the minimum to €600,000 and two change it to €900,000.

The published government-fee subtotal starts with the €500 main-family application charge and adds €70 for every applicant assumed to need an Alien Registration Certificate. A separate spouse permit adds another €500 when selected. The policy explicitly requires adult children using either study route to submit their own applications, so the calculator adds a separate application charge for each of them. It does not invent an extra filing fee for non-dependent adult children: the higher-investment section does not say whether they make another charged application, so that amount must be confirmed.

The secured-income row is not included in fees or total capital. The main family begins at €50,000 a year, then adds €15,000 for a spouse and €10,000 for each dependent child. Every non-dependent adult child must prove €50,000 separately, with the same spouse and minor-child additions for their own family.

For an ordinary property application, official receipts must show at least €300,000 excluding VAT paid when filing. When the adult-child multiplier is used, the calculator instead shows the official 66% minimum for the multiplied property value. Either figure is part of the full investment and is not added again to the subtotal.

Both property routes require €300,000 plus VAT where applicable. The calculator does not invent a VAT amount because the treatment depends on the property and transaction. Property transfer fees are also excluded. The Department of Lands and Surveys states that no transfer fee is charged when VAT was paid for the same property; otherwise its published 3%, 5% and 8% bands are generally reduced by 50%, subject to exceptions. Land Registry costs are also excluded, including the published €50 sale-contract deposit fee where a contract is filed.

Routes B, C and D require evidence of separate accommodation in Cyprus. Route A can also require another property when the investment home's bedrooms do not meet the family's needs. Any related rent or purchase cost is excluded, as are conveyancing, Land Registry work, due diligence, valuations, insurance, translations, certifications and adviser fees unless you enter them.

The estimate assumes every applicant needs a new ARC. If someone already has one, subtract €70 for that person. Adult cards expire after ten years and must be replaced; cards for underage dependants are valid only until age 18. Future card renewal or replacement is excluded from the initial total. The current Migration Department announcement publishes a €50 fee with the MIP2 renewal form, but does not clearly state how that fee applies across a family or application, so confirm it before filing.

Adding a family member after approval is also outside the initial subtotal. The published schedule charges €50 for each person added, plus €70 where that person needs a new ARC.
