Relocation to Cyprus

Moving to a new country is rarely one task — it's a dozen of them running at once, in a language and a bureaucracy you don't yet know. Relocating to Cyprus means lining up a residence permit, a home, a bank account, schools, healthcare and a long list of registrations, each with its own paperwork and its own clock. We hold all of those threads in one place, so your family deals with one team instead of chasing the same documents across four different departments.

ConciergeCY is based in Limassol and runs full relocations to Cyprus for families and professionals from Russia, the CIS, Europe and the Middle East. Below is what a turnkey move actually involves, how the timeline works, and where we take the load off you.

What a turnkey relocation covers

A complete move to Cyprus breaks into a handful of parallel streams. We manage each one and keep them in sync, so nothing sits idle waiting on something else.

How the process works

Most family moves fit comfortably into about 90 days when the streams above run in parallel rather than one after another. In practice it falls into three phases:

1. Decisions & documents (month one). We confirm your city and residency route, then start gathering, translating and apostilling documents — the slowest job, so it goes first.
2. Housing & finances (month two). We secure accommodation, open the bank account and arrange health insurance while your documents are current.
3. The move & settling in (month three). Flights, enrolment, local registration, utilities and healthcare — the logistics, once the hard decisions are made.

Choosing your residency route

The legal basis you pick shapes everything else — the income you need to show, the documents, the timeline. For non-EU nationals the usual routes are fast-track Permanent Residency based on a €300,000 investment, the temporary "pink slip" for financially independent families, employment- or company-based permits, and the Digital Nomad permit for remote workers. Your spouse and dependent children normally come in under the main applicant.

Picking the wrong route, or showing income that doesn't clearly qualify, is where people lose months. Our guide to the Cyprus residence permit in 2026 sets out each category, the documents and the realistic timelines — and in a first consultation we confirm which one actually fits your situation.

Why families choose ConciergeCY

• One team, one process. Residency, housing, banking, schools and everyday logistics are handled together, not handed off between agencies.
• Russian, English and Greek. You deal with people who speak your language and the local one, so nothing is lost in a third-party translation.
• On the ground in Limassol. We know the schools, the neighbourhoods, the banks and the offices — and we go to them for you.
• Documents in parallel. Families who prepare papers while choosing a city and school land sooner, and a lot calmer, than those who work through the list one item at a time.
