Introduction

The Committee for Supervision and Control of Service Providers for the Cyprus Investment Program was established in accordance with Regulation 10 of the Honorary Naturalization for Reasons of Public Interest and Naturalization of Foreign Entrepreneurs or Investor Regulations of 2020 (Regulatory Administrative Act 379/2020), which entered into force on 18/8/2020.

The Committee is composed of the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior who is also the Chairman, as well as the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Finance and the Director General of the Cyprus Investment Promotion Agency.

The responsibilities of the Committee include the maintenance and updating of the Register of Service Providers as well as its publication on the official website of the Committee.

It is noted that according to Regulation 2 (1), "service provider" means a natural or legal person, which is defined as a "liable entity" under its provisions on the Prevention and Combating of Money Laundering Act and which, between among others, provides naturalization services to foreign entrepreneurs or investors and their family members, in order to submit an application for naturalization, in accordance with the provisions of Article 111A of the Law, i.e. –

Important note:

This Cyprus Investment Program has been terminated since November 1st, 2020, by the decision of the Council of Ministers dated October 13, 2020. Therefore, no new naturalization application can be submitted after this date under this program.

It is also noted that the Commission has not yet defined the procedure for registering new providers and therefore does not currently accept new applications for registration.
