Yes—foreigners can buy property in Cyprus, including non-residents.
The key is to run proper legal checks through an independent Cyprus lawyer (not the seller’s/developer’s lawyer) and to make sure your purchase contract is properly protected at the Cyprus Land Registry.
Buying a property does not automatically give residency, but ownership can support longer-stay planning when combined with the correct visa/residency route. Always confirm any nationality-specific requirements (especially for non-EU buyers) before you pay major deposits.
