Key facts we publish (as of September 2026, see articles for sources):

- Stamp duty in Cyprus was abolished from 01.01.2026.
- Permanent residency by investment requires €300,000 + VAT in a new build from a developer and proven foreign income of €50,000/year; Cyprus does not grant citizenship for investment.
- Non-EU buyers (including Israelis) typically need a 50% down payment for a Cypriot mortgage.
