This dossier is for general guidance only and does not constitute immigration, legal, tax, financial or property advice. Programme rules, investment thresholds, eligibility requirements and government policies change frequently — all figures are indicative and verified to 2026, and final positions are confirmed in writing by licensed professionals in the relevant jurisdiction. No residence approval is guaranteed: all applications are subject to due diligence, source-of-funds review, government discretion and applicable laws. Tax-residency planning requires personalised advice from appropriately qualified tax professionals. Cyprus is not currently in Schengen, but is working toward Schengen accession; a Cypriot residence permit is valid for Cyprus and does not by itself confer Schengen short-stay travel; this changes only upon Cyprus joining Schengen. Kestrel Private coordinates, project-manages and directs the engagement and facilitates applications through admitted local counsel; it is not a law, tax or immigration firm and does not itself perform regulated legal, tax or immigration work.
