In pursuance of the provisions of Regulation 6(2) of the Aliens and Immigration Regulations, the Minister of Interior, having notified the Council of Ministers, has decided to issue an Immigration Permit to third country national applicants, in cases where the following conditions are satisfied: 2. Investment/Financial Criteria 2.1 The applicant should submit a confirmation letter from a financial institution in Cyprus that he has deposited a minimum capital of into an account, which will be pledged for a period of at least three years. It must be proved that the said amount has been transferred to Cyprus from abroad. 2.2 The applicant should prove that he has at his disposal a secure annual income of at least This annual income increases by for every dependent person and 8,000 for each dependent parent (of the applicant and/or of their spouse). This income should derive from abroad, and may include salaries from employment, pensions, dividends from shares, fixed deposits, rents a.s.o. For the calculation of the total income, the income of the applicants spouse can also be taken into account. 2.3 The applicant should submit, with the application, title deeds or a contract of sale in his name and/or his spouse, which has been officially deposited with the Department of Lands and Surveys, for a dwelling or other building, of a total market value of at least (V.A.T. is not included therein) and official receipts for the payment of at least (excluding V.A.T.), irrespective of the date for the delivery of the dwelling. It should be stressed that the full payment of the value for the dwelling shall be settled in an account in a financial institution in Cyprus. The abovementioned amounts must be proven to have been transferred to Cyprus from abroad. It is noted that the purchase of a dwelling may be accepted even when made in the name

5 of a Company of which the applicant and/or his wife are the exclusive shareholders or the final beneficiaries and which the Company is legally established in the Republic or in another Member State European Union or the European Economic Area. 2.4 For the purpose of implementing this policy, the applicant may purchase up to two housing units (apartments or houses), or one housing unit and a shop of a surface of up to 100 sq.m., or a housing unit and an office of a surface of up to 250 sq.m., provided that the total market value satisfies the conditions in paragraph 2.3. The said purchase, must be for properties that are sold from a land development company to the purchase for the first time. As from 7/05/2013, for the purpose of this policy, applications in relation to the re-sale of dwellings will not be accepted. It should be stressed that contracts of sale in relation to a re-sale of dwellings that have been officially deposited with the Lands and Surveys Department prior to 07/05/2013 (the date of depositing the contracts of sale is to be confirmed by the Department of Lands and Surveys), shall be accepted for the purpose of implementing this policy. The dwellings can be independent but must be purchased from the same development company. These restrictions apply for the couple and not for each individual i.e., the acquisition of more than two units will not be allowed in accordance with the combinations described in the four paragraphs above. It is noted that any alienation of the Immigration Permit holder from the property that he purchased without directly replacing it with another property, as described in paragraph 2.3, of equal and/or greater value and which satisfies the conditions set out in this process (ie. be from land development company and first sale), will initiate the activation of the Immigration Permit cancellation procedure under the provisions of Regulation 6 of the Aliens & Immigration Regulations. 3. Dependent persons of the Applicant 3.1 The Immigration Permit issued to an applicant covers his spouse and children under the age of 18. If the applicant so wishes, it is possible for two separate Immigration Permits to be issued, one for the applicant and one for his spouse, without the latter having any obligation to fulfill the criterion of real property, the insured annual personal income and deposit in a financial institution, provided that it a separate application is submitted and the relevant fee is paid. The minor children can be included as dependents in both Permits when the corresponding fee is paid. It is noted that in the event of death of the holder of the Immigration Permit, then, the spouse and dependent children who are not already holders of the Immigration Permit,

6 by submitting an application and paying the necessary fees and without being required to meet the above described criteria, the spouse and dependent children of the deceased can obtain the Immigration Permit in accordance with Regulation 6(2). 3.2 Unmarried children aged between 18 and 25, who may prove that they are students or undergraduates abroad with remaining attendance at least six months from the date of submission of the application and are financially dependent on the applicant, may submit a separate application to obtain an Immigration Permit and the relevant fee is paid. In such a case, the father or mother and/or both parents together must present an additional annual income of for every such dependent child. It is noted that every such dependent child, shall submit with his application, all the documentation defined in the list of documents. The said permit is still valid even if the holder has exceeded the age of 25 years old, even if the child is no longer unmarried, and/or student and/or financially dependent of its parents. It is noted that the spouses and children cannot be included as dependents in the said Permit. If the children are students in Higher and University institutions of the Republic, they will have to apply for obtaining a temporary residence permit in the Republic as students under the relevant legislation (EU Directive). After completing their studies in Cyprus they will be able to submit their own application to acquire the Immigration Permit as described above, regardless of their age with the sole condition that the parents present an additional annual income of 5, The Immigration Permit can also be granted to the parents of the applicant/holder of the Immigration Permit and of his spouse, with the filing of the relevant application and by paying the relevant fee, with the only condition that the applicant/holder of the Immigration Permit will present an additional annual income of for each dependent parent. It is noted that each dependent parent will present with the application all the required documents specified in the list of documents. 3.4 Individuals who have acquired the Immigration Permit without satisfying the criterion of real property, the insured annual personal income and deposit on financial institution will not be able to include in the Immigration Permit their spouses, children and parents. 4. Investment of higher value that includes adult financially independent children 4.1 An immigration permit may also be granted to children of the applicant over the age of 18, who are not financially dependent on the applicant, provided that the market value of the acquired property attributed to each such child is at least (excluding V.A.T.), as described in para. 2.3 hereinabove, (e.g. in the event the applicant has a child

7 that is 30 years old and wishes to obtain an immigration permit, the applicant must purchase a dwelling valued at , if the applicant has 2 adult children, financially independent, he must purchase a dwelling valued at etc). In such an event a confirmation of payment for the 66% of the market value of the dwelling must be submitted with the application (e.g for a dwelling of a market value of ). It is noted that the purchase of the property can be made in the name of one or both parents, or exclusively on the adult child or jointly the child with the parents.

Qualitative Criteria 5.1. The applicant and his spouse must submit a confirmation of a clean criminal record from their country of residence or from the Republic if they reside in Cyprus and generally, they should not be considered as a threat in any way to the public order or public security in Cyprus. 5.2 The applicant and his spouse (where applicable) shall confirm that they do not intend to be employed in Cyprus in any direct or indirect manner. It is noted that the applicant and/or his spouse may be a shareholder(s) in a Company registered in Cyprus and the income from the dividends of such a company in Cyprus are not deemed an impediment for the purpose of obtaining an Immigration Permit. 5.3 The holder of the Immigration Permit in accordance with Regulation 6(2) is obliged to acquire permanent residence in the Republic with one (1) year from the date of issuance of the certificate of the Immigration Permit.
