Who hasn’t dreamt of visiting the magnificent island of Cyprus, a dreamy destination that’s a bridge between the East and the West?

There are only good reasons to visit Cyprus, whether it’s for vacation, for business, or to study internationally.

If you are a high net worth investor, take a minute to stop and discover the top 10 reasons that bring international investors to invest in real estate in Cyprus to preserve their wealth and family’s future.

Our turbulent times offer families numerous reasons to consider relocating to a different country. These reasons could be of an external, a financial, or a personal nature, such as geopolitical uncertainty, a feeling of insecurity, or concern for the children’s future.

High net-worth investors and wealthy families, with an existing presence abroad, are generally the first to opt for immigration, as they already possess the means to do so. But which are the factors that motivate such a decision?

Real estate has always attracted high-net-worth investors and families. Today this sector is even expanding among this group. Multiple studies show that investors place great importance on real estate, such as Tiger 21’s recent survey among successful investors and entrepreneurs, carried out during the third trimester of 2017, the Asset Allocation Report. It is worth noting that the percentage accorded to real estate investments has grown by 7% compared to the previous year, a considerable increase.

High net-worth individuals (HNWIs) often have a great deal of income at their disposal but are not able to put it to effective use within their home country. As a participant in a citizenship by investment Program, a HNWI is afforded a significant amount of freedom and flexibility -- attractive advantages for you and your family if you currently reside in a country that has a volatile economic or political landscape.

While each individual's situation can vary widely, there are three general types of HNWIs that tend to look for a citizenship by investment program. 

Located in the Caribbean, Antigua and Barbuda attracts tourists from all over the world in search of an unforgettable holiday: cruise, sailing, scuba diving, cricket and golf, romantic getaway, rest on a bright white sand beach and turquoise water, carnival show, etc.
