Authorities in the north of Cyprus approve new property permits for foreigners

On October 5, 2026, the administration in the north of Cyprus approved 297 new permits for foreign nationals to purchase real estate. The decision was made by the local 'cabinet' based on legislation governing property acquisition and long-term leasing by non-citizens, provided the properties are designated as 'free'.

Additionally, the 'cabinet' amended the terms of existing property permits previously granted to 22 other individuals. Separately, the authorities revoked the 'citizenship' of one woman, born in 1999 in Nigde, Bor, who had been granted the status in August 2017. This revocation was implemented under Article 13 of the local citizenship law, as noted in the 'official gazette'. No further actions regarding these decisions were reported.
