Cyprus, the Most Underrated EU Permanent Residence by Investment
European residency by investment programs are well-known. Yet, with so many on the table, it is hard to pick just one. After all, there is no one correct answer, but many of them, depending on your circumstances and wishes.
But probably the one that fits the most gloves is Cyprus. For those who can afford it, it is one of the best options for a variety of reasons.
As you know, in Mundo we value freedom. And Cyprus is one of the freest countries in Europe thanks to its low taxes, relaxed lifestyle, and excellent privacy options. You will enjoy a typical Southern European lifestyle, but at a fraction of the price of what it would cost in Italy, Portugal, or Spain. Plus, the program has one of the fastest processing times in the EU. For €300,000, you can receive a Cypriot residency that will allow you to live, work, and invest freely in Cyprus and travel without restrictions throughout the EU.
Why is Cyprus widely considered the best European residency by investment?
