11. If you are a non-EU citizen, obtain permission to buy the plot from the Council of Ministers through your lawyer.
12. Stamp the contract of sale and register it with the Famagusta Land Registry Office (Ammochostos). Pay the remaining part of the purchase price.
13. If the plot has title deeds, you must get a Land Registry appointment, pay the transfer fees, and transfer the title deed before paying the remaining balance.
14. Plan for the future use of the land, whether it's development, construction, or holding it as an investment.

To acquire land in Cyprus, a third-country national must obtain Council of Ministers approval. The process involves submitting Form Comm. 145 (PDF, EN) to the District Officer in whose district the plot is located.

It is important to note that the land plot to be acquired should not be larger than necessary for the intended purpose. For instance, it should be large enough to build a residential home. The law governing this process is The Immovable Property Acquisition (Aliens) Law, Cap. 109.
