-- SLV Estates has announced a live online workshop on 31 July 2025 exploring why Cyprus is becoming the strategic choice for lifestyle investors in 2025. Amid shifting global priorities, Cyprus offers a powerful combination of EU access, favourable tax structures, and a high quality of life that is attracting discerning investors seeking long-term security and liveability.
From improved infrastructure and stable governance to sun-drenched coastal living, Cyprus is presenting itself as more than a property hotspot — it’s a gateway to an integrated, lifestyle-driven future for investors. Areas to be covered include:
Cyprus: Where Lifestyle Meets Strategy
Lifestyle investors — a growing global demographic seeking more than financial return — are increasingly targeting Greek Cyprus for its unique position in the EU. Offering full European legal protections and direct access to markets, Cyprus is considered a safe harbour for individuals and families prioritising education, healthcare, and personal freedom alongside capital preservation.
Despite broader economic uncertainty, Cyprus posted 2.3% year-on-year GDP growth in Q1 2025, reflecting resilience in its real estate, financial services, and professional sectors. Its consistent regulatory framework, modelled on English common law, continues to build international investor confidence.
Favourable Tax Environment
Cyprus’s tax regime remains among the most competitive in Europe. Non-domiciled residents benefit from exemptions on dividends and interest income for up to 17 years, and there is no inheritance tax. Capital gains tax applies only to property within Cyprus, and other global income streams remain untaxed for qualifying residents.
Corporate taxation remains at 12.5%, making the jurisdiction popular with entrepreneurs, tech founders, and private wealth offices. These tax benefits, combined with EU-level regulatory oversight, provide a compelling reason for relocation or second-base establishment.
Permanent Residency Through Investment
Permanent Residency Through Investment While the “Golden Visa” programme has been suspended, Cyprus continues to offer permanent residency via the Regulation 6(2) scheme. This pathway requires an investment of at least €300,000 + VAT in new-build real estate, alongside evidence of a secure annual income earned abroad — at least €50,000 for the main applicant, with further amounts required per dependent.
Key conditions include:
· Clean criminal record and no Schengen visa rejections
· Proof of annual income from non-Cypriot sources
· Property purchase from a Cypriot developer
Successful applicants can include spouses and dependent children (up to age 25 in full-time education), with applications typically processed within 2–3 months. While no longer branded as a fast-track or automatic visa, the system remains efficient and accessible for genuine lifestyle investors.
Real Estate Growth and Investor Demand
Cyprus’s property market has continued its upward trend, with demand particularly strong in Limassol, Paphos, and Larnaca. Infrastructure improvements, international schools, and marina developments have made these cities hubs for investment and relocation.
According to figures from the Cyprus Land Registry, foreign property transactions rose 18% in the first half of 2025, as buyers from the UK, Middle East, and Asia look for secure, lifestyle-aligned opportunities within the EU. Properties offering sea views, eco-credentials, and smart home technology are particularly in demand.
SLV Estates, with a deep presence across Cyprus, will showcase the most current market data and location insights in its July workshop — tailored for both first-time buyers and strategic portfolio investors.
Strong Infrastructure, Modern Services
Digital infrastructure in Cyprus has improved significantly, with nationwide fibre rollouts, widespread 5G coverage, and the introduction of digital services for residency and company registration. These developments support a growing number of remote workers, start-up founders, and distributed global teams relocating to the island.
Healthcare is another draw. Cyprus’s General Healthcare System (GHS) ensures universal coverage, while private healthcare is of high quality, with many practitioners trained in the UK or Europe. For families, retirees, and globally mobile individuals, access to English-speaking medical professionals provides confidence and continuity.
Mediterranean Lifestyle, Year-Round Appeal
With more than 320 days of sunshine per year, Cyprus offers a quality of life that few other EU destinations can match. English is widely spoken in both professional and everyday settings, and the country’s rich cultural heritage is complemented by modern conveniences and international communities.
Direct flights from Larnaca and Paphos airports connect Cyprus with over 40 destinations, including London, Dubai, Frankfurt, and Tel Aviv, making it easily accessible for investors with cross-border business interests.
“Today’s investors want more than just returns — they want a sense of security, quality of life, and a base that offers long-term value. Cyprus provides all of this within a transparent EU framework,” said Paul Hann, Head of International Sales at SLV Estates. “We’re looking forward to sharing actionable guidance in our July workshop for those ready to explore what Cyprus has to offer.”
