European Citizenship programme through Cyprus

2010-10-12T05:03:00.000-07:00

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"

2010-10-11T04:39:00.000-07:00

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.

Possibly you are waiting for your assets in your own country to mature.

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

Perhaps you have family already living abroad in Cyprus and have considered joining them.

It could be that you have a couple of favourite places in mind that you would like to retire to in Cyprus and would prefer to spend some time living in the area.

Common cost of living factors for Retirement in Cyprus

2010-10-06T04:23:00.000-07:00

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. For more information visit our website at http://www.mypropertycyprus.com/.

If in years to come you want to sell your Cyprus property and cash in your invested collateral and remain a resident of Cyprus you can look at the possibility of a retirement home. The following link will take you to one of the Cyprus residential homes http://www.cyprusshelteredhousing.com/

Healthcare

Healthcare in Cyprus is of a very high standard. As well as the main Cyprus General Hospitals there are many privately run healthcare clinics in Cyprus. This is a link to some of the clinics and general hospitals in Cyprus http://www.hospitalsworldwide.com/countries/cyprus.php .Cypriots and EU Citizens residing permanently in Cyprus are entitled to be issued with a Cyprus Medical Identity card. For more information to find out if you would be entitled to free Cyprus healthcare or even subsidise healthcare in Cyprus visit the following link. http://www.moh.gov.cy/MOH/moh.nsf/medcard_en/medcard_en?OpenDocument

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. Below you will find a list of supermarkets established and new to Cyprus including their website addresses.

Carrefour - http://www.carrefour.com/cdc/group

Lidl- http://www.lidl.com.cy/cps/rde/xchg/SID-352EDDAC-C3BFA0ED/lidl_cy/hs.xsl/index.htm

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. For further information on exchange rates, currency exchange and money transfers listed are a few of the banks or exchange companies operating in Cyprus.

Utilities

The water supply to the island of Cyprus is managed by the Cyprus Water Development Department http://www.cyprus.gov.cy/moa/wdd/WDD.nsf/index_en/index_en?OpenDocument

Water is metered in Cyprus and each local municipality is responsible for the registration and billing of each property within its district. Bills are issued every quarter and are measured on consumption.

There is no mains gas. Natural gas (LPG gas) is the only means of gas in Cyprus. This is mostly used for cooking and gas fire heating in the winter months if favored over central heating or AC heating. It can be obtained at petrol stations, grocery shops and supermarkets. It is sold in canisters which you can collect or arrange delivery if you are purchasing a large amount for gas central heating by contacting the distributors in Cyprus at http://www.eko.com.cy/uploads/LPG%20Distributors.pdf

Telecommunications in Cyprus are of a very high standard. Landlines, mobiles, Internet and broadband to name a few can be obtained from CYTA or PRIMETEL. Both companies have an excellent reputation for the highly developed and sophisticated technology they have to offer. Very competitive price packages can be found on their websites

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. For more information of the Cypriot laws preserved after 1960 please visit the following link. http://www.supremecourt.gov.cy/Judicial/SC.nsf/DMLLegSystem_en/DMLLegSystem_en?OpenDocument

Wills and Inheritance Laws in Cyprus

If you are a EU member residing in Cyprus a pensioner in Cyprus or decided to early retire to Cyprus and an owner of a property in Cyprus it is wise to make a Will concerning your assets in Cyprus. Some people prefer to include their assets in an existing Will which they may have already made from their country of origin or make a separate Will for their assets abroad. 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

Legend has it that flood wiped out almost all living creatures except Noah's Ark and its contents to give birth to a new pure generation. Also it is believed that ceremonies are held in honour of Aphrodite and Adonis. Traditionally the holiday was celebrated by Cypriots at the beach of Ammochostos and the celebrations would fall on the Pentecost Sunday and on the Monday of the Holy Spirit. Nowadays the celebrations occur in all the major coastal resorts, Agia Napa, Protaras Limassol, Larnaca, Paphos and Polis. Depending on the town the celebrations could sometimes be extended into the next week. Go online today and check out some of our fantastic Protaras rental properties or Ayia Napa villas to rent so you can enjoy the celebrations. The festival starts with an ecclesiastical ceremony. Then a priest throws a cross into the sea and a diver recovers it. He is blessed and is given a sovereign, and then the festivities continue with swimming competitions, traditional dance and song. Purification of body and soul is symbolised by a dousing of water so don't be surprised if you are the victim of a water spurt from a water gun as you stroll along Protaras Avenue or along the coast of Ayia Napa.

Protaras and Ayia Napa will stage concerts and games near the waterfront close to the golden beach of Fig Tree Bay, over a three-day period. The celebrations include traditional dances, water sports displays and competitions as well as concerts by well-known artists. Fig Tree Bay in Protaras has held some fantastic celebrations over the years including live concerts and fireworks with famous singers.

The all year round sunshine island of Cyprus is not only a very popular destination for the holiday maker searching for the perfect Cyprus holiday villa in the sunshine but has in recent years become the most sort after area for Europeans to immigrate to. Previously Cyprus was considered only as a place for the retired Europeans looking for somewhere to relax in the sunshine and take advantage of the benefits Cyprus offers. These days most of the immigrants residing in Cyprus are families and couples from across Europe who have chosen to live and work here making Cyprus their home. Most people choose Cyprus as their place of residence as it has exceptional climate as it is the most Middle Eastern European Country, the unemployment rate is approximately 4% and it has a very low crime rate.

The population growth rate of Cyprus has steadily continued climb and current figures show this at 1.04%. As the Population Growth Rate steadily increases in Cyprus it attracts more business ventures and opportunities, creating more job opportunities and also the need for more properties.

With a few exceptions, most member states will experience population decline between 2005 and 2050. Among the countries set to avoid population decline are the smaller states, such as Luxemburg, Ireland, Malta, Cyprus and Sweden. There are projected to be considerable differences between the individual Member States. Between 2008 and 2060, the population is projected to rise in thirteen Member States and fall in fourteen. The strongest population growth is projected to be found in Cyprus (+66%), Ireland (+53%), Luxembourg (+52%), the United Kingdom (+25%) and Sweden (+18%), and the sharpest declines in Bulgaria (-28%), Latvia (-26%), Lithuania (-24%), Romania(-21%) and Poland (-18%). For more information concerning the population growth figures you can refer to the following link:-http://europa.eu/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=STAT/08/119&format=HTML&aged=0&language=EN&guiLanguage=en

As Cyprus population has expanded and the need for residential homes in Cyprus has increased their has become a shortage of plots in Cyprus, the build factors have been reduced, therefore Cyprus land shortage has increased forcing Cyprus property investments to increase predicting higher capital Growth. The demand for property in Cyprus has risen as foreign investors from the EU, Middle East and Russia are choosing Cyprus as their holiday destination and Cyprus property for investment for their future investment as it benefits from a number of factors including exemption of estate duty on inheritance shares, excellent healthcare and advanced infrastructure.

Cyprus land value has also raised due to the encouraging Cyprus Tax Benefits. An advantage of registering a trading company in Cyprus is the desirable tax regime of 10% on the corporate profits.Favourable tax structures for:

1. Holding companies

2. Royalty companies

3. Finance companies

4. Real estate companies

5. Trusts

6. Trading companies

7. Collective investment schemes

8. Shipping companies

Recently The Minister of the Interior for Cyprus adopted a favourable treatment of Cyprus immigration permit applications to citizens of non EU countries. This shall apply to a non EU citizen who acquires a Cyprus private home over €300,000 for their own residence in Cyprus. A Cyprus permanent residence permit in Cyprus means the holder is exempt from the time consuming Cyprus immigration procedures which exist for non EU country citizens who enter Cyprus, (e.g. consular visa, renewals of residence permit, re-entry permits, etc.) The holder of category F Cyprus permanent resident permit is allowed to apply for a Cyprus passport in the 6th year of residency and may also enjoy all the rights and benefits of any European citizen in Cyprus. Due to this there is an increase in demand for the purchase of private Cyprus homes from non EU country citizens. This has a positive repercussion on the Cyprus economy and future Cyprus investment. Cyprus is due to join the Schengen Agreement. Active Schengen Visa members are:-

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

Therefore it is only a matter of time when Cyprus will be part of the passport free Schengen zone. Additional Schengen Articles can be found at the following website address http://www.lifeistravel.org/content/434 - Cyprus will join in 2010

http://www.eurofedop.org/spip.php?article180 - Cyprus in the next enlargement.

VILLA ALIA ON THE SEAFRONT OF PROTARAS

Villa Alia is an elegant 3-bedroom detached house in a quiet cul-de-sac, in a unique location on the coast of Protaras, within walking distance from the nearest sandy beaches.

The villa enjoys a stunning, uninterrupted view of the sea (which is right across the villa), and is close to Nausica resort, famous for its crystal clear waters.

Alia is a very comfortable holiday villa, which spreads over 150 square meters and is surrounded by a lovely Mediterranean style garden, with hibiscus plants, fragrant jasmines, bougainvilleas and olive trees.

This beautiful villa is equipped with simple yet elegant and modern, high quality furniture and all the necessary electrical appliances (dishwasher, washing machine, cooker and oven, a large refrigerator and an AC unit in every room).

With two double rooms on the first floor and one twin on the ground floor, the villa comfortably sleeps 6 people.

The living room, the kitchen, and dinning room on the ground floor unfold in an open plan, which extends to the outdoor area, where a natural timber deck surrounds the large swimming pool.

Villa Alia is in the heart of Protaras and yet far from the crowd and noise because of its ideal location.

Imagine a dream Cyprus holiday in a private, self-catering holiday apartment or villa, and Ayia Napa is top of the list. Why? Because Ayia Napa has it all...

Few seaside beach resorts are as accessible as Ayia Napa and it is only 20 minutes from Larnaca International airport. Once you've reached your villa or apartment holiday accommodation, the beach fun for families and couples is at your fingertips.

Visitors from around the world have transformed Ayia Napa into a cosmopolitan centre running along some of the island's most attractive beaches: sugary sands, the clear sea, shallow and safe ‘Blue Flag' beaches and water sports for every temperament, choose from a laid-back pedalo ride to bungee jumping close to Nissi beach.

The international flavour extends to Ayia Napa's dining outlets, with everything from local tavernas to American fast food chains alternating with Asian cuisine, Italian favourites, Irish pubs and much more...

Whether you intend to shop or not it is unthinkable that you will leave Ayia Napa without taking home several bargains. Browse the shops with their abundant stock of souvenir trinkets to precious jewellery, giveaway flip-flops to boutique wear.

The village square around the Monastery is at the heart of the resort of Ayia Napa, and - depending on the season - the scene of festivals, street artists, live music or you may simply prefer a casual stroll in the sun.

Nobody should miss the chance to visit Ayia Napa, if only once to experience it's distinctive, bubbling atmosphere. So when you're ready to set your holiday dates, check out My Property Cyprus for the best value in self-catering holiday rental apartments or luxurious villas in the best locations.

Protaras – the coastal paradise for self-catering holiday accommodation

2010-01-29T06:18:00.000-08:00

Often said in the same breath as Ayia Napa, Protaras is like a smaller model of neighbouring village of Ayia Napa, only a few minutes drive or bus ride away from it and about 30 minutes from the International Airport of Larnaca.

Though it echoes the holiday fun of Ayia Napa, Protaras offers you the distinct advantages of its setting: the sweeping beaches, golden sands and water sports of Fig Tree Bay, the hidden seclusion of the tiny coves, and the perfect balance of tranquility and resort activity, for you to mix and match according to taste.

Dotted with self-catering holiday apartments and luxurious villas, Protaras is surrounded with quaint villages with their local churches, coffee shops and cultivated fields that reflect the essence of rural life in Cyprus - all minutes away from the full-scale tourist core of the resort.

Protaras is also the gateway to Cape Greco, an unspoiled extract from heaven. Walking paths crisscross a landscape where rich endemic vegetation meets Mediterranean glitter to create images that even the best holiday snapshots cannot fully capture.

To optimize your Protaras holiday experience - carefree seaside leisure day by day - nothing can compete with the freedom and privacy of self-catering holiday apartments or villas. And nobody offers a bigger variety and greater value than My Property Cyprus. To choose your favourite self-catering holiday apartment or villa, simply click here.

Rent a holiday Villa & Scuba Dive in Cyprus in the Winter

2010-01-28T04:49:00.000-08:00

For most of Europe it's the winter months but this does not mean we need to hibernate. Just because the beaches are not lined with thousands of holiday makers bronzing in the sunshine does not mean that you cannot have a winter vacation and try something adventurous. Cyprus is renowned for having some of the safest waters in the world and combined with the mild temperatures makes the island a perfect destination for most people who want to learn to dive. It is also a popular place for experienced divers who want to visit some of the top ten diving destinations in the world one of which is the world famous Zenobia wreck. Many tourists during their holidays want to experience the dive sensation and then progress by taking their open water courses enabling them to dive the world wide waters qualified and with diving experience under their belt. Before the summer season kicks back into action and you fancy experiencing scuba diving or even taking a course at your own pace and want to avoid the summer rush, now is the time to book. My Property Cyprus can arrange a self catering holiday villa or self catering holiday apartment on the east coast of Cyprus in the Ayia Napa and Protaras area and introduce you to reputable diving schools with qualified instructors.

Some useful information has been provided by a dive instructor who lives and has worked in Cyprus for the last 6 years.

So, the summer season is over, the Shorty suits have been stored away ready for next year. This does not mean that your diving has to stop. Cyprus waters at worst come down to a low of 17 degrees; this is the lowest temperature I have recorded on my computer. Visibility in the winter months, is most of the time the same as in the summer. The qualified divers amongst you will know that visibility is affected by the rain and winds, obviously if the weather is too bad then we cannot dive. I have dived at Stoney Cove in Leicester in November with the water temperature as low as 3 degrees and visibility at about 5 meters. If we can do it in the UK then the Mediterranean waters are very welcoming.

One of the things that attract divers to Cyprus is the chance to dive the world famous Zenobia Wreck. The wreck is situated off the coast of Larnaca, resting in 42 meters of water on her port side. She is listed as one of the top ten wrecks worldwide. The 172 meter Swedish roll-on, roll-off ferry sank on its maiden voyage from Syria in 1980 after problems with her computer controlled ballast. She is fully laden with 108 Volvo trucks and trailers lying in tact on the lorry deck. The catamaran that moors directly over the wreck sails two to three times a week, weather permitting. Obviously, the boat and wreck itself is a lot quieter in the winter months allowing you the added benefit of seeing fewer divers on the wreck.

Locally, in the Famagusta area we have numerous sites for you to dive. Do not let the fact that it is winter deter you from getting wet.

THE CYPRUS WATERS ARE WAITING FOR YOU!!!!

So if you want to try something new and take a course in scuba diving or add another entry in your dive log and dive one of the top dive sites in the world then book a villa or apartment today and My Property Cyprus will put you in touch with our recommended dive schools

Politically and culturally however Cyprus is closely aligned with Europe.

The Capital City, Nicosia is located in the centre of the island. All the other major cities are situated on the coast.

Cyprus has a typical Mediterranean climate - warm and dry with little rainfall between November and March. The island experiences mild wet winters and dry hot summers. The high mountain areas are cooler and moister than the remainder of the island.

Average Air Temperature in Cyprus ranges from approximately 16.6 degrees (62 degrees Fahrenheit) Celsius to 34 degrees Celsius (93 degrees Fahrenheit) and Sea Temperature range from approximately 16 degrees Celsius (61 degrees Fahrenheit) to 28 degrees Celsius (82 degrees Fahrenheit)

МЕМОРАНДУМ О ПМЖ КАТЕГОРИИ F

Данный Меморандум был составлен в целях информирования граждан, подающих заявки на получение статуса ПМЖ категории F.

Введение

Согласно Положению 4 Законодательства о регулировании прав иностранных граждан и иммиграции, пункт 105, Комиссия по контролю за иммиграцией оценивает заявки на получение ПМЖ и гражданства. По результатам этой оценки Комиссия составляет отчет для Министерства Внутренних дел, которое наделено соответствующими полномочиями для предоставления Заявителям желаемого статуса. Иностранный гражданин имеет право претендовать на получение статуса ПМЖ одной из шести соответствующих категорий, обозначенных в Положении 5 (в данном Меморандуме речь идет только о категории F).

Статус категории F соответствует статусу ПМЖ и дает право его обладателю постоянно проживать на территории Кипра, одновременно избавляя его от необходимости выполнения различных формальностей, связанных с въездом и выездом из страны, которые являются обязательными для граждан третьих стран. При получении одобрения на статус категории F, Заявитель, если в данный момент он находиться за границей, обязан прибыть на Кипр в течение одного года с момента получения статуса для постоянного проживания. В случае, если иностранный гражданин, обладающий статусом ПМЖ, в течение двух лет не проживает на Кипре, он теряет право постоянного местожительства на территории страны.

Согласно Положению 8 Законодательства о регулировании прав иностранных граждан и иммиграции, лица, зависимые от Заявителя, претендующего на получение статуса ПМЖ, в случае его выдачи, также считаются обладателями соответствующего статуса и имеют право на постоянное проживание на территории Кипра. К зависимым лицам следует относить детей в возрасте до 18 лет и/или супругу Заявителя.

Условия для присвоения Заявителю категории F:

Категория F присваивается лицам, которые являются гражданами третьих стран, не работающим на Кипре, однако планирующим проживать в стране на долгосрочной основе. Данные лица должны подтвердить, что их ежегодный доход составляет не менее €9568,17. Источниками доходов могут служить пенсионные отчисления, акции или проценты от банковских вкладов. Данные доходы должны поступать Заявителю из-за рубежа, а не в результате его деятельности на Кипре.

Важнейшим условием для присвоения Заявителю статуса категории F со стороны Министерства Внутренних дел является приобретение Заявителем недвижимости на территории Кипра для постоянного проживания стоимостью от €300 000 и выше [крайне желательно, чтобы приобретенная недвижимость была зарегистрирована на имя Заявителя].

Необходимые для заполнения формы:

Форма M. 67: Согласно Положению 5 Законодательства о регулировании прав иностранных граждан и иммиграции, пункт 105, данная форма является обязательной для заполнения независимо от категории статуса ПМЖ, на которую претендует Заявитель.

Письменное заявление

Документы, необходимые для подачи вместе с формой М.67

Нотариально заверенная копия гражданского паспорта
В случае, если Заявитель уже постоянно проживает на Кипре - копия разрешения на постоянное проживание
Личное резюме (CV)
Выписка из банка (оригинал)
Оригиналы документов, удостоверяющих доходы Заявителя помимо заработной платы (например, доходы от владения акциями)
Оригиналы документов, удостоверяющих покупку Заявителем недвижимости на Кипре (Договор о приобретении с указанием стоимости приобретенной недвижимости)
Документы, подтверждающие профессиональную занятость Заявителя
Документы, подтверждающие ежегодный оборот и прибыль, получаемую от бизнеса Заявителя (если таковой имеется)
Счет за коммунальные услуги (например, счет за электричество, который будет служить подтверждением того, в какой стране проживает Заявитель)
Рекомендательное письмо из банка
Медицинская страховка (для резидентов Кипра)
Справка об отсутствии судимости
Брачное свидетельство (если имеется)

Get a Permanent Residency Permit for Europe- (Cyprus)

2010-01-08T04:20:00.000-08:00

Cyprus now is giving away Immigration Visas to Join Cyprus and the European Union to eventually become a permanent resident of Europe. There are immigration policies that need to be complied with and these are set below. Please ensure you read and understand the requirements set out below if you are looking to immigrate to Cyprus or into Europe.

How do I become an EU (Cypriot resident) Resident?

When Cyprus Immigration approves you for the permanent living permit, you are automatically allowed to stay in Cyprus permanently for an indefinite period, no need to apply for a visa or to reapply for a new Cyprus entry visa. This is the route we advice all our clients to follow if they wish to live permanently in Cyprus.

If you apply for a Cyprus permanent living permit you will have the option to apply for the Cypriot citizenship as well.

However to achieve this there are immigration visa policies to adhere to which are set out below in detail. Furthermore once you have a permanent visa for Cyprus, you are then allowed to apply for Full Cyprus Citizenship after 6 years. Since Cyprus is part of the European Union you would automatically become a European Union Citizen and you are then freely able to further migrate to UK, Germany, Ireland, Spain or any other European Member state Country.

We would suggest you speak to Prosperous Consultants Immigration Visa Specialists in Cyprus who will be able to give you all the advice on how you should proceed.

For further information please contact us on http://www.prosperousconsultants.com/articlecategories/view/contact-us

Background

According to Cyprus Regulation 4 of the Aliens and Cyprus Immigration Regulations, Cap.105, the Cyprus Commission on Control of Immigration examines appliances for concession of certain applications with a report being sent to the Cyprus Ministry of Internal Affairs who is responsible for granting the relevant authorisations. An alien can only have his Immigration Visa Permit granted if and only if the application raises one of the six categories under Regulation 5 [Category F only relevant for this Memo].

An immigration permit that is granted in relation to Category F is equivalent to an approval for permanent residence in Cyprus and provides the holders of such a permit the ability to be excluded from any time-consuming migratory formalities that the other Categories may place on (non EU (European Union) Citizens or non EU Nationals). However, immigrants that have their Immigration Visa Permits approved are compelled according to regulations, if abroad, to come to Cyprus, within one year, for permanent residence from the date in which the Immigrant Permit was granted. Furthermore, if an Immigrant does not live in Cyprus, for almost two years he loses the right for permanent residence in Cyprus.

According to Cyprus Immigration Policy Regulation 8 of the Aliens and Immigration Regulations, Cap.105, dependants of the Immigration Permit Applicant are also considered as permanent residences in Cyprus. Dependants include children under the age of 18 and/or the applicant's wife.

Requirements for permanent living permits:

1.Cyprus Migration Policy Category F relates to people that are third-country nationals which will not be working in Cyprus but will remain in Cyprus as permanent resident. They must have at their disposal a secured annual income of at least 9568.17 euro and a further 4613 euro for every dependent person who may, for example, emanate from pensions, shares or even permanent deposits. This income however must not emanate from any employment or self-employment in Cyprus but only from abroad. The immigration control board may demand additional income.

2.A further requirement that is essential for the approval of an Cyprus Immigration Permit Visa by the Minister of Internal Affairs is that third-country nationals must purchase a householder residence for ownership-occupancy in Cyprus worth €300,000 or more [preferably, the property must be written on the name of the Immigration Permit Applicant].
Relevant documents required after forms have been completed:

1.Notarised Passport Copy
2.If already a resident in Cyprus, a copy of a residence permit is required
3.Curriculum Vitae (CV)
4.Original documents of Bank Deposits
5.Original documents and Affidavit to prove income from other sources other than employment (e.g. income from shares)
6.Original documents to prove the purchase of property in Cyprus (the contract is required that also states the price of the property)
7.Documents that prove occupation
8.Deed that indicates annual turnover and income from applicant's business
9.Utility Bill (for example, electricity bill to prove the country of residence)
10.Reference Letter from the bank
11.Health Insurance Certificate (Resident in Cyprus)
12.Certificate of Clean Criminal Record
13.Marriage Certificate (if applicable)

What we do best - Cyprus Villa Rental

2009-03-17T13:57:00.000-07:00

We want to share our progress with you and so we thought we'd relay our blog to date. My Property Cyprus was established a number of years ago (2003 to be precise) and until recently our business revolved around supplying properties (sales) to those wishing to purchase them. This included those wanting to invest in Cyprus all the way to individuals who just wanted to buy a second home for their personal use.

Anyway that's what we did and we still do to date. Last year (2008) we embarked on a massive program to reorganise our business so that we could provide a professional Cyprus villa rental scheme to all those wishing to rent their villas, apartments and bungalows as holiday rentals.

So how did we do this? We knew what was lacking in the Cyprus market and listened to our clients to provide an infrastructure that would benefit both parties. This scheme as you know it today is to to provide luxury affordable and cheap villa rentals in Cyprus. Our new website, http://www.mypropertycyprus.com/ has totally been re-written to allow just this. Combining technology with an easy interface allowing client a memorable surfing experience.

To add to this our new website allows easy access to upload your Cyprus villa details combining the power to synchronise with social networking sites like YouTube, photobucket. With this technology in hand, landlords of Cyprus Villas now have the ability to upload their personal videos into our website within seconds. No overheads, not cost , just plain easy and simple to use! We have just released the first version of our website and the best is yet to come...

360º Virtual Tours of Villas and Apartments:
I recently saw on BBC News that Google was providing street level virtual tours of London (click here to see sample). My face lit up, not because I found it amazing but we were providing the same technology on our website! Wow, had we beaten google in their technology was my first thought? Obviously not, they had the financial backing to do just this. On the other hand we had implemented this feature on our website that provided a far superior interface than anything available with any Villa Rental Company in Cyprus. So we must be on the right track don't you think?

OK we must admit that our virtual tours are not as superior to those of Google but we are providing this service at a very nominal cost. I have seen a lot of rental websites in Cyprus offering a video tours and overcharging customers just because they add a soothing tune. How can can a client wishing to book a holiday see the actual holiday villa without having to pause, rewind or go backward and forward? Anyway enough of the critisisms and it time for me to introduce our Cyprus Villa which has virtual tours.....

Check this one out. Villa Oceanus in Cape Greko once the property loads in your browser, click the video section and you can enjoy a 360º Virtual Tour of this property. What you see is what you are going to book. OK for those you who are impatient I have added the 360º Virtual Tour of Villa Oceanus.

Starting up
As anyone who runs their own business would know, its never easy to start one up. Actually its easier for those on the other side of the fence to criticise, and yes, we did get our fair share of criticisms when our website was first launched. The most common was that we were no where in google listing.

Fair comment I would say, however we did not have much choice when we embarked on the Cyprus Villa rental program. We made a conscious decision/choice to keep the same website name. At the end of 2007, My Property Cyprus ownership changed hands and one of the ex-owners setup his own rentals Company. This unfortunately has put us in a very awkward position with clients who thought that we were connected. To make this absolutely clear we do not have any business dealings with this rental Company.

My Property Cyprus did not offer a full villa rental service when the split occurred because we did not believe we had the right infrastructure in place to offer this facility. It would not be fair on the landlord would it now? If you ask now, the answer is a plain and simple, Yes because of what I have already discussed earlier.

Going back to my point that we kept the same website name, was disadvantageous with what we were trying to achieve, and the time frame we had to get us back on track. We received our fair share of critiques saying it would take a long time to get on google listing. Well I can safely say that we have proved the critiques wrong again, and we are now in the top 20 pages of Google. We are now on page 5 of Google when you search for Ayia Napa Villa, page 14 for Cyprus Villa and we are working extremely hard to ensure we are on page 1. All this in a matter of one and a half month is a remarkable feat to achieve, but we did again!

So I am pround to anounce that we are back in full force to provide the best Cyprus Villa rental program. To sum it all up, the best is yet to come from us, so watch this space...

If you are looking to rent your Cyprus Villa please contact us on rentals@mypropretycyprus.com or call us on +357 238 144 77 and will be more then happy to discuss how we could help you rent you Cyprus Villa in the Sun...
