Successful Cypriot citizenship applicants and their families can enjoy equal treatment with Cyprus and EU nationals with regards to social benefits, education, welfare, and access to EU territories with the Cypriot passport. Citizenship holders do not become tax residents in Cyprus unless they spend more than 183 days on the island in any calendar year.
