Why millionaires prefer Cyprus? | Living in Cyprus at The Ritz-Carlton Residences Limassol

[@sanderrecommends]

So do you want to live in Cyprus?

[@lens_vagabond]

Nah. Mostly Russians and Easter Europeans. Still a parochial backwater just expensive.

@@sanderrecommends Despite all odds, yes! Simply because it's my country and I refuse to "sell" it to anyone!

[@andreaspor1294]

[@michaelperikleous5488]

As a Cypriot this is one of the reasons that made our everyday life more difficult to leave. An average new couple can't find a house to built or an apartment to rent because of the insane hight prizes, especially in Limassol!!! As a country(island) gives us money and for the right price we will sell you our souls too!! This is a very nice video for the few Cypriot( Russians, Israelis and Ukrainian) that can afford to stay here and they "sweat" a lot to make their millions and " waited a long time" to get their residence permit!!

[@gpapadopoulos]

Because of these people, property prices in Cyprus are artificially inflated and not just in Limassol, all over Cyprus. For example what does Strovolos gas to offer? 350,000 just the land in St Vassilios area? And not only that, these tech companies want permit for hiring staff from 3rd countries. KEBE claims that they can't find Cypriots!

[@apapa5495]

...live...

[@limcrew]

As a cypriot i agree too! Those big tech companies , Forex industry and whatever approaches milionaires make our life a little more difficult! Especially the housing problem! Its very difficult to afford a small appartment in Limassol. A young couple cannot find an appartment to live and if they find the monthly price is insane! First of all the problem is not the foreigners! The governent didnt realise how difficult is the problem right now especially in Limassol!

[@gehtdirgarnichtsan4178]

I've been involved in the markets for quite a long time and to me it looks like we've reached the top of the flagpole when it comes to speculation on real estate. All of the prices that are now being called out include 5-lane highways that Cyprus doesn't have, 100,000 well-paid new jobs that Cyprus doesn't have, the expansion of chemical and pharmaceutical companies that Cyprus doesn't have, doctors-teachers-rocket scientists who are unearthing new inventions bring... which Cyprus does not have, countless orders abroad which boost the gross national product.... which Cyprus does not have, clean drinking water that can be safely drunk from the tap like in Germany.... which Cyprus does not have, Building standards that are in no way inferior to those of Western Europe.... which Cyprus does not have. The prices are so exorbitant that it's ridiculous to even mention them

[@sanderrecommends]

Who knows what the future brings. If you don't believe in Cyprus, there is no need to invest or buy property. The protagonist of the video has already made his choice.

[@JM-dc7es]

Why would you ever need 5 lane highways in a country of 1 mil? I would totally get it if you said trains or trams tho

[@aristosalekou8300]

That shows that you have no clue… the five lane highway is not needed since the amount of cars does not require… pharmaceutical companies in Limassol are amongst the largest in the area and they export more that 97% of production. Water is safe to drink from tap and the building regulations in Cyprus are among the strictest and safest because of the earthquake region Cyprus is located…. Maybe study a bit more before spreading your false information.

[@mariosk1016]

@@gehtdirgarnichtsan4178 exactly stop coming

[@konnor9577]

Stop Saying you don't need to learn Greek. This is only for people with Golden Visa. People who are coming legally and worked for 7 years can apply for a passport (citizenship) if they have a certain level of Greek knowledge. You don't need Greek for permanent residency only but for having voting rights and public sector jobs you need citizenship.

[@thierrysf]

10,000 EUR/sqm is compelely insane. You can find real estate in Switzerland for the same budget and you will pay even less taxes.

[@sanderrecommends]

That's exactly the point. That in Cyprus you can buy for 10,000 Euros something that in Switzerland you can't even find or afford, also because of taxes. Have you seen even one Ritz-Calrton Residence in Switzerland? They don't exist there. And Cyprus offers one of the best tax schemes in Europe today.

[@ioannistsiatalis1689]

Seriously you are trying to compare a well organised country as Switzerland is with Cyprus that nothing is working normally?

[@thierrysf]

@@ioannistsiatalis1689 this is exactly why real estate in Cyprus should be a hell of a lot less expensive than in Switzerland.

[@lambrosspyrou4450]

Another great video, it's 12.5% corporation tax and not 2.5% corporation tax though, right?

[@sanderrecommends]

Corporate tax is 12,5% but special tax incentives for IT companies make the effective rate 2.5%.

Russian millionaires yes. others not so sure. There is far to much Russian money and influence on the island. I saw it coming and sold at a profit and returned to the UK.. The EU is either unable or unwilling to do anything about it.

[@sanderrecommends]

It's common to mix Russians and Russian-speaking people. This guy in the video has nothing to do with Russia. Brits are still Cyprus's most active property buyers, with Israelis in second place now. There are more Russian-speaking residents now because of the recent events. Many are now also moving from Germany and Scandinavia.
