This movement is driven by long-standing bilateral ties, legal predictability, and Cyprus’s strategic positioning along the India–Middle East–Europe trade route. Today, Cyprus offers Indian enterprises a unique opportunity to benefit from low barriers to entry, an English-speaking legal system, and an internationally competitive business environment.

Recent momentum, including the establishment of the India–Greece–Cyprus Business & Investment Council in Mumbai and Prime Minister Modi’s landmark visit to Cyprus, has elevated the island’s role in the India–Middle East–Europe Corridor (IMEC). This transformative initiative is expected to bolster cross-regional trade and investment flows, with Cyprus taking center stage.

Schengen 2025: Enhancing Mobility and Market Reach

Set to join the Schengen Area in 2025, Cyprus will soon offer even more competitive advantages for Indian companies relocating executives or managing cross-border teams. Once implemented, Schengen accession will:

•    Eliminate visa requirements for intra-EU travel for Cyprus-based residents

•    Significantly ease executive mobility across 27+ EU countries

•    Streamline logistics, talent relocation, and in-person commercial activity

•    Boost international investor confidence and operational fluidity

Combined with Cyprus’s EU membership, Schengen integration means faster movement of goods, people, and ideas, accelerating success for Indian companies in Europe.
