    Best Cyprus Immigration Lawyers & Advisers (2026)

    A Cyprus immigration lawyer should identify the right visa or residence route for your case, name the regulated professional handling your file and set out the scope and fees in writing. Compare 21 law firms and advisers by credentials, regulator, fees and expertise.

    Quick answer: this directory lists 21 Cyprus immigration providers, unranked, with paid profiles listed first. One independent firm has passed a credentials check: Harvey Law Group. Use the filters to narrow by programme, provider type, language and fees.

    Cyprus's citizenship-by-investment scheme is closed. It was terminated on 1 November 2020, so a Cyprus immigration lawyer now works on residence, not a passport: fast-track permanent residence under Regulation 6(2) of the Aliens and Immigration Regulations, the visitor permit known as the pink slip, family permits, and naturalisation after years of legal residence.

    That distinction decides what you should hire for. Ask which of the four qualifying investment categories the firm actually files, who evidences the secured annual income, and who reviews the sale contract, title history, VAT position and bank-transfer evidence alongside the permit file.

    What Happened to Cyprus Citizenship by Investment

    Cyprus terminated its citizenship-by-investment scheme on 1 November 2020. It is no longer an available route, and any adviser still quoting a Cypriot passport for an investment is selling something that does not exist.

    Citizenship now runs through ordinary naturalisation. Under the amended Civil Registry law, that requires 8 years of residence within the last 11: 7 years cumulative plus 12 months continuous immediately before applying, together with Greek at B1 level and a civics test. Those periods count actual legal residence in Cyprus, and holding the permit alone does not start or satisfy them (European Commission, checked 26 Sep 2026).

    What Regulation 6(2) Actually Costs

    The fast-track permit requires an investment of at least €300,000, plus VAT where applicable, under the Migration Department's investor permit criteria, in one of four categories: new residential property bought first-sale from the developer, other real estate, share capital of a Cyprus company, or units in a Cyprus collective investment fund. A firm that quotes only the property route is quoting one category of four.

    On top sits the income test: secured annual income of at least €50,000, raised from €30,000 in the May 2023 revision, plus €15,000 for a spouse and €10,000 for each dependent minor child. Where the income may come from depends on the category: for the new-home route it must derive from abroad, while for the other three categories all or part may come from activities within Cyprus. The firms that handle these files are on the Cyprus golden visa page.

    The Migration Department charges €500 on submission plus €70 per person for the alien registration certificate, and estimates about two months to examine a complete application. The residence card is valid for ten years, and the permit lapses after two years' absence from Cyprus (checked 26 Sep 2026).

    What Is the Cyprus Pink Slip?

    The pink slip is the visitor's temporary residence permit under Regulation 14 of the Aliens and Immigration Regulations. It is for holidays, touring or exploring whether to live in Cyprus, and holders cannot carry out any economic activity. Spouses and minor children of a visitor can hold dependent visitor permits.

    You must show income from abroad, paid into a Cyprus bank account, of at least €2,000 a month (€24,000 a year) for one person, plus 20% for a spouse and 15% for each child (Migration Department, visitor permit supporting documents, checked 26 Sep 2026).

    You apply on form MVIS8 before your entry visa expires. The fee is €70 to issue or renew, plus €70 for first registration in the Aliens Register. The Migration Department usually decides within four months, and the first permit is valid for one year, renewable while you meet the criteria (Migration Department, visitors and family members, checked 26 Sep 2026).

    What Does a Cyprus Immigration Lawyer Check?

    Cyprus applications turn on whether the investment, income and family documents fit the current permanent-residence criteria. The immigration lawyer should coordinate with property counsel rather than treating the real estate purchase as a marketing add-on.

    Applicants should expect checks on source of funds, clean criminal records, health insurance, dependants, and whether the purchased asset remains eligible under the current rules.

    Checked 26 Sep 2026: Cyprus Migration Department, Immigration Permits for Investors (Regulation 6(2) criteria, fees, timing and loss of the permit); Cyprus Migration Department, Visitors and family members (pink slip); Cyprus Migration Department, Supporting documents: visitor permit (pink slip income); European Commission, Cyprus new citizenship legislation (naturalisation).

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I still buy Cypriot citizenship?

    No. Cyprus terminated its citizenship-by-investment scheme on 1 November 2020. Citizenship now requires ordinary naturalisation: 8 years of residence within the last 11, with 12 months continuous immediately before applying, plus Greek at B1 level and a civics test.

    Is Cyprus permanent residence by investment still open?

    Yes. Regulation 6(2) grants fast-track permanent residence for an investment of at least €300,000 in one of four categories, with secured annual income of at least €50,000 plus €15,000 for a spouse and €10,000 for each dependent minor child.

    Does the €50,000 income have to come from abroad?

    Only for the new-home category. Buyers of new residential property must show the income derives from abroad; for the other three categories, all or part may come from activities within Cyprus.

    What is a Cyprus pink slip?

    The visitor's temporary residence permit, for people who live in Cyprus without working. It needs income from abroad of at least €2,000 a month (€24,000 a year), plus 20% for a spouse and 15% per child (Migration Department, checked 26 Sep 2026). The first permit is valid for one year and is renewable; it costs €70 to issue or renew, plus €70 for first registration, and is usually decided within four months.

    What should a Cyprus golden visa lawyer check?

    They should check which of the four investment categories fits, the VAT position, the income evidence for the right source, clean criminal records, health insurance, dependants, and whether the asset stays eligible after approval.
