First of all, we should thank the local Cyprus fund company GG Aspire AIF LNP V. c. I. c limited.
GG Aspire AIF LNP V. c. I. c limited, referred to as GG Fund for short, is a licensed EU alternative investment fund (license number: LPAIF112014) established in Cyprus, which is supervised by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission and operates in strict accordance with the instructions of the EU alternative investment fund manager. The fund mainly invests in real estate projects in Cyprus and can be used as an investment fund for European immigrants.
Aisha borrowed GG Fund as a channel for immigrants from Cyprus to help immigrant applicants meet the investment demand of 2 million yuan required by the Cyprus government. After GG Fund receives the investment of 2 million euros from the applicant, GG Fund will put the investment of 2 million euros into the company account established by the applicant in Cyprus. GG Fund only charges 5% access fee (654.38+ million euros). This process not only meets the investment requirements of the Cyprus government for passport applicants. At the same time, passport applicants have completed a huge investment in Cyprus passports at a very low cost of 654.38 million euros.
Of course, in order to ensure the rights and interests of the applicant, the applicant signed two contracts with Ai Lisha before making the payment: 1, the fund purchase contract; 2. The Fund Company invests the applicant's investment amount into the contract in the company account of the applicant in Cyprus.
Due to the regulations of the Cyprus government, all applicants for Cyprus passports are required to pay a government donation of 6,543,800+500,000 euros to the government. Among them, 75,000 euros was donated to the Research and Innovation Foundation; Another 75,000 euros was donated to the Cyprus Land Development Association. After the applicant submits the compulsory donation of 6.5438+0.5 million euros, Aisha can return 75,000 euros to the applicant. The applicant actually spent only 75,000 euros in government donations.
In the whole process, the applicant only spent 6.5438+0.75 million euros to complete the investment required for the Cyprus passport.
Information to be submitted by Cypriot immigrants: applicant's passport, certificate of no crime, birth certificate, marriage certificate, and proof of source of funds.
