What our clients say about us
I required a guaranteed right to live and work in Cyprus after the 90 day allowance. George Kosasvili managed the process for me brilliantly and I now have a 1 year Visa. George handled all my questions with patience and gave me prompt responses that ensured I had no worries. I highly recommend this practice
DAVID CONWAY

I am very grateful to George Kosasvili for his attention to detail in preparing my application for temporary residence. The application involved several documents which George initially identified and then commented upon promptly, until the application could be made. George has been helpful throughout. Best wishes.

For large amounts such as those required for citizenship applications, the banks conduct enhanced due diligence through international companies. They requires evidence of the source and size of wealth and the funds to be used. In addition, some background checks are being made with global databases, local databases and international authorities (such as Interpol) to make sure that the applicant did not obtain his wealth from illegal sources. The government also uses international specialized companies to verify the above.
Most of the checks are being done in the background so they don’t come at a hustle to the applicant. The applicant will however need to prepare the economic information and evidence required as well as his clean criminal record certificate and other certificates required.
The Cyprus citizenship approval comes approximately in 6 months after the application is made at which stage, the applicant must provide bio-metrics and take the necessary steps for the issuance of the passport. The passport is issued 9 months after the application.
