We are pleased to announce that M.C.Loizides & Associates LLC has contributed to the Legal 500 Country Comparative Guide 2025 on Corporate Immigration in Cyprus.
The guide provides a comprehensive overview of the laws, regulations, and procedures governing corporate immigration in Cyprus. Authored by Marios Loizides (Partner, Nicosia), Stavrina Karakatsiani (Head of Limassol Department), and Michalis Ioannou (Associate, Nicosia), it addresses key issues such as:
- The role of government entities and the Civil Registry & Migration Department.
- Employment-based immigration options, including the EU Blue Card scheme, Foreign Interest Companies (FICs), and general work permits.
- Pathways for Digital Nomads, investment-based residence, and other unsponsored routes.
- Sponsorship requirements, compliance duties, and penalties for non-compliance.
- Recent changes, including fast-track procedures via the Business Facilitation Unit (BFU) and Cyprus’s adoption of the EU Blue Card Directive.
- The country’s evolving policies supporting remote work and its preparation for Schengen integration.
This contribution reflects our firm’s commitment to providing practical insights and guidance on business immigration — a sector that continues to play a vital role in Cyprus’s position as a hub for international companies and skilled professionals.
