How buying works in Cyprus
Taxes and fees
New builds carry VAT (5% reduced or 19%). Resales pay transfer fees of 3–8% (halved in practice). No annual property tax; municipal charges are minor. Legal fees run about 1%.
Residency
Buy new-build property worth €300,000 plus VAT and show stable foreign income to apply for permanent residency, typically granted within a few months. Family members can be included.
Process
Reservation deposit, due diligence by your lawyer, sale contract lodged with the Land Registry, then completion. Non-EU buyers need Council of Ministers approval, which is routine. Six to ten weeks end to end.
Indicative figures. Rules change; your advisor confirms current rates before you commit.
