Is it possible to obtain a residence permit in Northern Cyprus based on a rental agreement?
Below is information about what is commonly called a "rental residence permit" and what this type of residence permit actually is.
What is a "rental residence permit"
Formally, there is no type of residence permit called a "rental residence permit" officially. The correct name is Residence Permit for High Income.
Nevertheless, in practice it is often called "rental" because obtaining it does require a long-term rental agreement registered with the tax office. However, the key requirement is having a sufficient amount in a local bank account — this confirms your financial independence.
