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.
