Who qualifies for the Cyprus Category F immigration permit?

Category F is an immigration (permanent residence) permit for persons of independent means. To qualify you must possess and have fully and freely at your disposal a secured annual income, high enough to give you a decent living in Cyprus without engaging in any business, trade or profession on the island. Acceptable income usually comes from sources outside Cyprus -- such as pensions, dividends, interest or rental income. The amount required increases for each dependent included in the application.
