When Cyprus changed its citizenship-by-investment
laws, Armoush’s brother, who was in Cyprus,
recommended the program. Like many other countries
around the world, Cyprus offers citizenship or
residency opportunities as a means to attract foreign
capital into the country.
To attain citizenship, investments can be made
through acquiring real estate (at least 2 million
euros), purchasing a business that employs Cypriots,
purchasing special investment funds linked to the
country, or a combination of those.
Applicants must also buy a residence in Cyprus for
at least 500,000 euros. The residence, which can be
applied toward the 2-million core investment, must be
maintained for life. The Cypriot program is fast and
provided Armoush with easy access into the rest of
the European Union in less than a year.
So Armoush made his investment and applied. He put
money toward housing developments in Ayia Napa
and Kapparis beach in partnership with the Giovani
Group, a developer based in Protaras, on the eastern
tip of Cyprus.
In addition to seeing profit opportunities in the
country, Armoush liked that Cyprus — which has been
influenced by various powers over the centuries,
including the Greeks, Turks and Ottomans — felt like
his native Jordan.
路斯推出投资移民项目以吸引外国资金。为取得公
民身份, 投资人必须通过购买价值至少200万欧元
的房地产, 购买雇佣塞浦路斯居民的公司, 购买国家
特殊投资基金, 或通过以上三种方式的组合形式完
成投资。
申请人还需要在塞浦路斯购买一处价值至少50万
欧元的住宅, 购买住宅的开销可以算入200万欧元
的核心投资中, 投资人必须终生持有该处住宅房地
产。塞浦路斯投资移民项目申请处理高效快捷, 这
使得Armoush能在不到一年的时间内就取得自由出
入欧盟其他地区的权利。
于是Armoush同来自塞浦路斯东部普洛塔拉斯的开
发商Giovani Group合作, 向阿依纳帕和Kapparis
海滩的住宅开发项目进行了投资。除了看重塞浦路
斯投资获利的机会, Armoush还很喜欢这个国家
