Can I move my business from Lebanon to Cyprus through the fast-track route?
Short answer
Through a Cyprus company of foreign interests, registered with the Business Facilitation Unit of the Business Support Centre. It needs an initial investment of at least €200,000 and an office lease of at least 12 months, in premises separate from any home.
Staff from outside the EU can then receive residence and employment permits for up to three years, at a gross salary of at least €2,500 a month, and directors and key personnel can bring their spouse and minor children.
Since 1 July 2026, applications are made only through CY Login. We prepare the company's registration and the permits in one file.
