Cyprus recently began looking to Thailand as it aims to attract new customers for its permanent residency and citizenship-by-investment programs.<\/p>\n
Officials from the Mediterranean island have been engaging with their Thai counterparts in an attempt to boost relations between the two countries.<\/p>\n
Cyprus is attractive to Thailand because of its status as a European Union member. It is also one of few EU member states to offer a citizenship-by-investment option.<\/p>\n
\nBenefits of \u00a0Cyprus citizenship for investors:<\/h3>\n
- \n
- The investor and his\/her family become citizens of Cyprus and the European Union.<\/li>\n
- The Cypriot passport allows for visa-free travel throughout the European Union and more than 140 nations including the most developed countries in the world.<\/li>\n
- Investors can seek long-term residence in other European Union member countries without onerous residence requirements.<\/li>\n
- Access to a relaxed and comfortable lifestyle with quality healthcare and educational facilities.<\/li>\n
- Ability to retain dual citizenship and passport of second country along with Cypriot citizenship.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\nWealthy Lebanese nationals have also become key customers of the Cyprus investment immigration programs as they seek a safe haven from potential future conflict in their country.<\/p>\n
With Cyprus still in full recovery mode following the acute financial troubles of the 2008 economic crash, investment from Lebanese \u2013 and other Middle East nations \u2013 is most welcome.<\/p>\n
It has created a mutually-beneficial situation that means the two-year old program is thriving.3<\/p>\n
