GET YOUR EUROPEAN PASSP0RT NOW! CYPRUS opens it’s doors to citizenship through investment! T here is now an easy way for the whole family – including adult dependent children up to the age of 28 – to be able to secure EU passports. Cyprus’ “Citizenship through Investment” programme is the quickest way to obtain absolute freedom of movement in Europe – including the UK. Your 2nd citizenship gives you the freedom to live, work, do business, study & travel wherever you want in the EU – YOU have the choice! To qualify: an investment of €2,5Million in a single residential property or €3Million in a portfolio of properties which can be immediately rented out. After 3 years 80% (€2,5Million) of the portfolio can be sold as long as a personal residence valued at min €500k is retained. In October, the Cypriot government approved the first batch of applications; BUT this programme will only be open for a limited time. So… NOW is the time to seriously look into the benefits of getting your long-term Plan B in place. Secure your family’s future in only 3 months by giving them the ultimate access key into Europe: an EU passport. R
