  • More about Passport Island: The Market for Eu Citizenship in Cyprus

The Republic of Cyprus opened a route to naturalisation and citizenship by investment for non-nationals, leading to thousands of Russian, Chinese, and other investors becoming Cypriots by buying properties and passports. Passport Island examines the implications of this phenomenon on the ground and in the EU, challenging existing citizenship structures associated with ancestry and territory. It argues that the commodification of citizenship represents a new form of offshoring by other means.

The Republic of Cyprus opened a route to naturalization and citizenship by investment for non-nationals who wanted access to the EU, leading to thousands of Russian, Chinese, and other investors becoming Cypriots by buying properties and passports on the island. This book examines the implications of this phenomenon on the ground and in the EU, interrogating the golden passports right of money (jus pecuniae) and the mobility of international elites. It argues that the commodification of citizenship represents a new form of offshoring by other means.
