European Citizenship programme through Cyprus

While you are waiting for your European passport you can enjoy the Cyprus hospitality, the Cyprus weather, and relax in the safe environment of your Cyprus home as your investment continues to make you money.

There are many advantages of a Cyprus Permanent residency permit including that a holder will have all rights that European Union citizens have in Cyprus and that Cyprus resident's application for visa to other European countries and non European countries will be favourably treated. Also the Cyprus permanent residency permit does not expire provided that you and your family visit Cyprus once a year. Between the end of this year and the beginning of 2012 Cyprus will be part of the Schengen state. Permanent residents of Schengen states can move freely into another Schengen country.

Not only do Cyprus citizens have the right of free movement in the EU but they are well respected all over the world for being politically neutral.

This European citizenship programme has many advantages including the fact that while you are waiting for your Cyprus Permanent residency permit to be processed your Cyprus property is continually is increasing in value. Cyprus property also has good rental potential as Cyprus is a very popular tourist destination for many nationalities across Europe and the Middle East. Cyprus unlike most other European countries does not expect you to physically be present in Cyprus although should you decide to take your holidays in Cyprus in your Cyprus home you are only a short haul flight to Cyprus.

Further to meetings held in 2009 the Minister of the Interior adopted favourable treatment of the immigration permit applications to Non European Citizens who acquire a private Cyprus home for their own residence in Cyprus. This measure is part of the effort which the Government is applying for the confrontation of the international economic crisis and especially for the strengthening of the purchase of immovable property in Cyprus, by means of the increase of incentives for the purchase of a Cyprus home by citizens of Non EU Countries.

The Minister of the Interior specifically decided on the favorable treatment of immigration permit applications, category F (6), as defined in the Alien Immigration Regulations of 1972 until 2004, for the citizens of Non EU countries who have acquired by means of purchase a Cyprus private home for their own use in Cyprus, value not lower than €300.000=. It is mentioned that a Cyprus immigration permit is equivalent to a Cyprus permanent residence permit in Cyprus and the holders are exempt from the time consuming immigration procedures which exist for the other categories of Non EU country citizens who enter Cyprus (e.g. consular visa, renewals of residence permit, re-entry permits, etc.).

Category F (6), according to Regulation 5 (F) of the Aliens and Immigration Regulation of 1972 until 2004, refers to persons who are citizens of a Non EU country and who rightfully hold and have at their disposal a guaranteed annual income of an appropriate sum, which is not derived from employment or self-employment in Cyprus but comes from overseas. By the incentive of favorable treatment of the application for immigration permit Category F (6), it is expected that there will be an increase in demand for the purchase of a private Cyprus home from Non EU world country citizens, which will have a positive repercussion on the Cyprus economy.

We at My Property Cyprus, due to the vast relations we have at both Senior Government levels and Private Sector (including a network of professionals we represent in Cyprus), can assist clients in a hassle free procedure to obtain a Cyprus permanent permit for the immediate family (husband, wife, children under 18) and businesses and professionals to open their companies in Cyprus thus making it easier to provide a gateway into the European union market. A couple of key areas which we believe would be of interest to you is the Cyprus Permanent Permits for anybody wanting to use Cyprus as a base for his family due to the security it can provide but also the high level of education can achieve this by buying at least a 300,000 euro worth of property. Not all applicants would be approved; the ones that would most probably be approved are those that have sufficient funds to live in the republic of Cyprus with funds coming from another country and businesses that are not operating in Cyprus. It is essential to know that Cyprus is nearly completing the final discussions with the other EEU countries to enter in to the Schengen Zone.

Schengen Agreement

Active Schengen Visa members

Austria, Germany, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Luxemburg, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, The Netherlands

The Schengen Visa Agreement allows countries to remove their internal borders and allow people to travel without checks from country to country.

The establishment of Companies in Cyprus is something that a lot of professionals and companies based inside or outside European Union are doing for two reasons, number one is to establish an EEU identity for their companies and therefore to operate as a European company accessing 450 million clients in Europe and second is to enjoy the low tax regime we have in Cyprus benefiting this way of higher profits for their companies. The benefit for your company would be the fees on the set up of Cyprus companies but also of other fees from possible company structures.

We also have our own land in different locations in Cyprus.For more information regarding buying a Cyprus property and applications for a Cyprus Permanent residency permit you should follow the attached link and complete and submit the enquiry form at http://sales.mypropertycyprus.com/articles/view/general-enquiry

Cyprus property rent before you buy - "Try before you Buy"

It is said that the two most stressful experiences in life is getting married and moving house and now with the current global economics, and such an unstable market the majority of people are more cautious about making rash choices and committing themselves without a second thought to these huge decisions.

Up until a couple of years ago it was a trend to take the leap of faith and hand over your life savings for a dream home in Cyprus in the sunshine. It was not uncommon for some people to buy a property in Cyprus or in a Country that maybe they had only ever been to on holiday and make a decision to buy a home and settle there. Purchasing a villa abroad or buying an apartment abroad in an unfamiliar town or a village where they had probably never even visited before. Some enthusiasts would only spend a day viewing and then sign on the dotted line agreeing on a contract of sale to part with large sums of money for a villa or an apartment in Cyprus that was off plan or even purchase a Cyprus villa over the internet. I am sure some of us have made this choice and many of you reading this article are probably thinking this decision was very courageous or very stupid.

Sadly for a few people who bought property abroad the bubble did burst and the dream home in the sunshine was not what they thought it would be. Maybe it is because they had never bought property abroad before or lived in a foreign country. Possibly they had set their expectations too high or it could have been due to lack of research. Regretfully we only ever hear the horror stories in the media about the purchasing of property in Cyprus but what about the majority of expatriates that immigrated abroad to Cyprus and have found total bliss retired in Cyprus or settled in their country of residence, still living the reality, happy in their dream home abroad in Cyprus in the sunshine.

Research is the key to success for most of us when making our choices and reaching our final decision in life. Nearly almost everyone will investigate the "for and against" before buying the latest mobile phone or computer console. We will generally try on the clothes and shoes before we purchase and always want to test drive the car before deciding to buy it. So how great would it be if we could test a house before deciding to commit to it!

Now with My Property Cyprus you can. Like only a few other countries My Property Cyprus has taken the lead in property investment in Cyprus. This excellent investment opportunity in Cyprus will suit anyone who has not purchased a property abroad before and is looking to buy a house in Cyprus. My Property Cyprus is the only company on the island who has adopted the new scheme "Try before you buy" which will enable a first time buyer abroad to rent a property in Cyprus giving them enough time to carry out research of a town or village, meet the inhabitants and find out what facilities are available to you in that area. Most of My Property Cyprus properties are located in the Eastern coastal areas of Cyprus from Protaras, Ayia Napa, across to Larnaca. My Property Cyprus has a vast selection of rent to buy properties ranging from bungalows, apartments, villas, town houses and exclusive sea front properties in Cyprus.

With the "Try before you Buy" scheme it will also allow you time to feel completely comfortable and certain that when you face your decision to buy a property in Cyprus you will make the right one.

Who will suit the "Try before you Buy"

Anyone and everyone is the answer.

Maybe you have been offered work abroad and you will be relocating to Cyprus with your family.

Or you just want to try a new life in Cyprus, new job in Cyprus and new start abroad.

Alternatively it could be you are not sure where to invest your savings.

Common cost of living factors for Retirement in Cyprus

There are many factors to consider when retiring and relocating to another country. For retirees from the UK it is usually the better climate which is the first reason to emigrate. Cyprus is a very popular destination for British Nationals young and old as most of the islands inhabitants speak English and permanently settling in Cyprus has been made easier since joining the EU. When taking the leap to Cyprus and moving abroad to Cyprus there are many benefits to consider. Below you will find some useful factors to support you make your decision to move to Cyprus abroad and retire in Cyprus and the following link will give you in brief the 10 main reasons to invest in Cyprus and move to Cyprus.

Taxation

Pensioners from overseas who take up residency in Cyprus are taxed on their state pension, personal or company pension at a rate of only 5%. In order to qualify you will only need to live in Cyprus or in the country you choose to retire for a minimum of 183 days. Another advantage is the fact that the inheritance tax in Cyprus has been abolished. For more information on the tax laws in Cyprus go to http://www.mof.gov.cy/mof/ird/ird.nsf/dmlfaq_en/dmlfaq_en?OpenDocument

Visas

It is simpler now for any EU national wanting to retire to Cyprus and enjoy their retirement pension since Cyprus joined the EU in 2004. Attached is a link to the requirements of obtaining a visa to reside in Cyprus. http://www.cyprusvisa.eu/cyprus-residence-visa-requirements.html . A retired person wanting to permanently reside in Cyprus will need to prove to the authorities that they are receiving a legitimate income suffice to support them, also a Cyprus or overseas bank account and lastly a comprehensive healthcare insurance. More information can be found on http://cyprus.angloinfo.com/countries/cyprus/residency.asp

Housing

House sales in Cyprus and Cyprus rental prices are variable as they are in the UK depending on the location and the size of the property. Should you decide to invest in a home in Cyprus then the formality and laws of purchasing a property are very similar to that of the UK. The buying process can approximately take 4 to 12 weeks. If deeds are available transfer of ownership is carried out at the Land Registry Office and once financial transactions between the parties involved have been completed, the title deeds can be re-issued almost immediately in the name(s) of the new purchasers. More information about properties to buy in Ayia Napa or Ayia Napa apartments for sale or villas for sale in Protaras can be obtained by contacting one of our agents based in Cyprus or visiting our website at http://www.sales.mypropertycyprus.com/ . Most UK citizens retiring abroad consider the option to buy abroad as they do not have to worry about the rental payments or annual rent increases. Also they can invest into their estate knowing that their investment in a Cyprus home should appreciate in value greater than putting their savings into an interest account. As mentioned before if you are investing for your family's future there is not inheritance tax in Cyprus. Another key factor is it you as the buyer of a property in Cyprus will have the freedom to choose from a variety of locations and decide on your preference of type of property. Voted as one of the most popular properties amongst the retired moving abroad are the bungalows; it is a 1 level property without a stairwell giving ease of access and freedom of move ability around the bungalow. Here is a link to view some of the great retirement properties for sale, apartments in Cyprus to buy and Villas for sale in Cyprus Resale Cyprus properties and new build Cyprus properties for sale http://www.sales.mypropertycyprus.com/properties/index/1

If you prefer to rent a property in Cyprus to experience the Cypriot lifestyle then there are a number of properties available from coastal like Ayia Napa villas to rent, Protaras Villas and Ayia Napa apartments to rent to rural Cyprus village properties. One of our reputable rental agents will be able to assist you with a Cyprus rental contract which usually runs for a minimum period of 12 months. You can expect to pay anything from €150 per month up to €1500 per month. Obviously all other expenses like Cyprus utilities, Cyprus rates and Cyprus communal fees will usually be separate to the monthly rent.

Food

Cyprus has a wide selection of supermarkets, fruit markets, butchers and bakeries. Local Cypriot food is quite reasonably priced and foreign products are becoming more competitive with the introduction of European supermarkets thus making the imported produce to Cyprus more inexpensive. Many western products and favourite brands can now be obtained in the local and major supermarkets.

Currency

The Euro is the legal tender used in Cyprus. In September 2010 the rate of exchange from GBP Sterling to Euro was approximately 0.84, thus giving an extra 15% return in exchange therefore increasing transfers from the UK including the pension. This figure has fluctuated between 0.79 and 0.89 over the last year.

Law and Legal

For most people law in your own country of origin can be a little daunting but in Cyprus the Cyprus law is closely related to laws of the UK due to the fact that Cyprus was under British rule until 1960.

Cypriot Lawyers will be able to provide information on creating a Will and should be able to advise you of the best option regarding your estate.

You can find out more information on Wills and Inheritance laws in Cyprus by visiting the following link which was prepared by Louise Zambartas UK Solicitor/Cyprus Advocate http://cyprus.angloinfo.com/information/10/wills.asp

Leisure

Many retired persons and pensioners opt for countries where the climate is good enough for them to enjoy their favourite pastime like Golf, sailing, swimming, walking, biking and visiting historical sites or just simply lounging on a beach or round a pool in the glorious sunshine, well Cyprus can offer all of the above to anyone who does decide to retire in Cyprus. Golf is a big favourite in many Mediterranean countries and for the retired in Cyprus the game of golf will only get better with the introduction of the proposed golf course situated close to Larnaca. There are already golf courses on the Paphos side of the island which are enjoyed by the young and retired in Cyprus. If you are a keen sailor, love the open water and look forward to spending your days bobbing around on a boat in the Mediterranean Sea then we are pleased to announce that Cyprus is constructing large marinas across the Island in Paphos, Limassol, Larnaca and Ayia Napa. More information can be found on either of the following links http://www.cyprus-mail.com/cyprus/new-marinas-aim-sailing-tourists

http://www.free-press-release.com/news/200802/1202818165.html

Many people dream of buying a boat when they retire and spending their retirement on a boat in warm Mediterranean waters. With lots of boats to choose from and the peace of mind knowing that there is plenty of mooring space the dream of retiring to Cyprus and owning a boat in Cyprus can now become a reality. If you are not sure if you want to completely invest in a boat and own one outright then there are places in Cyprus where you can part own the boat and book the days you want to use the boat. More details can be found by visiting the following link http://www.myboatshare.eu/. There is also the opportunity to to clay target shoot across Cyprus and in the Famagusta town of Paralimni. The following link will provide more information about this

http://www.cssf-shooting.org/inter2/09ParGP_03_general%20Information.pdf

Also there is a darts league in Cyprus which is usually played during the winter season. Retirement in Cyprus means you have time to enjoy the Cyprus beaches and where else but the tranquil island of Cyprus can you enjoy a leisurely swim in the Mediterranean Sea in crystal clear, safe warm waters nearly all of the year round.

Infrastructure

Over the last ten years the roads in Cyprus have vastly improved therefore making the travel time shorter and trips from Famagusta to Paphos a lot smoother. Driving in any foreign country can be intimidating although for UK nationals retiring to Cyprus driving will feel the same. As in the UK you drive on the left in Cyprus but the motorways are only two lanes, well signposted and never swarming with vehicles. The major cities like Limassol, Nicosia and Paphos have a larger volume of traffic than the rural areas but it is still minimal in comparison to other major EU cities. As the volume of traffic in relatively low in Cyprus the pollution levels are also low. It is not only the benefits of low pollution but the car tax is also calculated on the CC of the vehicle making small cars in Cyprus relatively cheap to run. If you are moving abroad and retiring to Cyprus or near to retirement and have a fairly new vehicle which you would like to keep and take with you when you move abroad to retire to Cyprus you can read more information on car taxes and importing a car on the following link http://www.mof.gov.cy/mof/customs/customs.nsf/ced07_en/ced07_en?OpenDocument

Travel

Due to Cyprus being centrally located flanked by the Middle East and the rest of Europe exotic locations that you have always wanted to visit for a holiday in your retirement like Indonesia, Thailand, Russia, Abu Dhabi or even Australia means that the travelling time from Cyprus is shorter. The new Cyprus International Larnaca Airport was completed in 2009 and more destinations from Cyprus were added to the list of existing places to visit. Budget low cost airlines are now flying from the UK to Cyprus like Easyjet, Ryanair and Monarch. To return to the UK from Cyprus to see loved ones it is only a 4 and a half hour flight. Cyprus has a number of travel agents which will be able to assist you with holiday information and nearly all of the representative have a good command of the English language.

Pets and Vets

For all the animal lovers that are concerned about bringing their pets with them and getting the proper pet care or getting a pet when they retire to Cyprus abroad you will be pleased to know that Cyprus has veterinary clinics and pet shops all over the island. The Brits especially are a nation of animal lovers and you will be pleased to know that most clinics are capable of carry out the following procedures; General Examinations, Inoculations, Chipping, Spaying, Neutering, X Ray, Ultra Sound, All operative procedures, Dietary advice, Scientifically designed foods and Grooming. For more information you can visit the following link http://petcarecyprus.com/

Beers, wines and dining out

Just because you're on a pension and you are a pensioner living abroad in Cyprus you still deserve to treat yourselves to a few nights of wining and dining. Try the traditional dishes of Cyprus and what could be better than sitting al-fresco in a traditional tavern in the heart of the Cypriot countryside enjoying delicious food and good wine. Make sure you are hungry and have plenty of time to relax when you order a Meze as there can sometimes be over 20 dishes. There is either a meat or fish Meze which will depend on the restaurant. The average cost of a Meze for 2 persons and a bottle of wine will cost as little as €35 (village tavern's will usually be slightly less expensive than the main tourist areas). Cypriots enjoy their traditional fare but are also keen to try other international cuisine and dishes from all over the world. If you are a non-Cypriot retired in Cyprus and like something unusual or want to stick to a dish closer to your homeland then the choice is enticing. Attached is a link to some of the restaurants in Cyprus http://www.cyprus.com/restaurants.html
