What Our Clients Say
Trusted by individuals and businesses worldwide
“I have been using Polycarpos Philippou for both my temporary residency visa application and for my house purchase. Nikolas and Laura both worked very hard to achieve the former, which has just been successfully submitted, and the whole process was a pleasure. Equally, Ioannis and Anita are ensuring my house purchase is running smoothly. I have no hesitation whatsoever in unreservedly recommending Polycarpos Philippou & Associates.”
Kevin Arlette
“I have been delighted with Philippou Law. They met all my legal needs related to buying a property in Cyprus and applying for a residence visa, including supporting me in negotiations with the builder, writing the contract, conveying the property, the KYC process with the bank, registering with the tax authorities and obtaining a VAT reduction certificate. My key contact has been Ioannis Pitsillos, who has been truly outstanding.”
Ross MacDonald
“Fabulous service from everyone at Philippou Law. We moved here in July and had our immigration sorted with Nikolas and Laura, our tax residency, non-dom and the opening of our business was seamlessly done by Cleo, and we are also buying our house with them, where Maria and Elpida have been wonderful. Honestly I would not go anywhere else. Many thanks all.”
