Yes, children can attend school in Cyprus while a parent is on the Golden Visa / permanent residency by investment route, and one community report says it “eventually became possible to bring children into Cyprus to study here.” 1
For public schools specifically, I only found partial information. Public schools are described as free and taught in Greek 2, and one post says children living in Cyprus generally must start school within 6–12 months of moving there 2. I did not find a source that clearly says Golden Visa holders are excluded from public schools, and the community data points the other way by saying children can be brought to Cyprus to study. 1
A practical point is that public schools are Greek-medium, so children without Greek may struggle at first, especially outside the more international areas. 3 If your children are not Greek speakers, compare a local public school with an English-medium private school before deciding. 43
Next steps:
- Ask the local public school in your area what documents they require for enrollment under your residency status.
- Check whether your children would need Greek language support before starting.
Confirm school eligibility and required documents with the Cyprus education authorities or an immigration lawyer before relying on this.
