Self-Sufficiency

Post by hamski »

Hi everyone,

I plan to retire early (long before my government pension kicks in), hopefully in Paphos.

To prove economic self-sufficiency, I must show "Adequate deposits in financial institutions in Cyprus or abroad".

Does anyone know the amount of money that is deemed 'adequate'? ( There are 3 of us : my wife and I, plus our 2 year old daughter).
Is an internet brokerage account acceptable?

Thank you in advance.

Doesn't quite answer your question, but this is the only official reference I have found regarding income requirements:

Category F: Persons who possess and have fully and freely at their disposal a secured annual income, high enough to give them a decent living in Cyprus, without having to engage in any business, trade or profession. The annual income required should be at least €9568,17 (CY£5,600) for a single applicant and moreover at least €4613,22 (CY£2,700) for every dependent person, but the Immigration Control Board may demand additional amounts as necessary. Most applicants come under this Category, the majority of them being pensioners or retired persons.
