According to the source, applicants using this permanent-residence route must demonstrate secured annual income of at least €50,000 from abroad. The requirement increases by €15,000 for a dependent spouse and €10,000 for each dependent child; the income must originate outside Cyprus.
The source presents the overseas-income threshold as a separate condition of the investment-based permanent-residence route, alongside investment and applicant-document requirements. For families, the required income rises substantially, so this figure should be checked before purchasing property or making another qualifying investment. The rule primarily affects investors and their dependants who seek permanent status without relying on Cyprus-based employment income. It is worth considering when comparing the investment route with employment or other residence options.
