As the world embraces remote work and flexible lifestyles, the Cyprus Migration Department is once again accepting applications for residence permits under the “Cyprus Digital Nomad Visa” scheme.
Originally launched in 2021, this permit is designed exclusively for professionals who work online and want a safe, vibrant, and tax-friendly European base. Cyprus is emerging as a prime destination for digital nomads.
Who can apply?
If you’re a
non-EU or non-EEA national, you’re eligible if you:
- Perform work remotely though telecommunications technology for a company registered abroad or
- You are a self-employed with clients outside Cyprus, and
- You earn at least €3,500 net per month (after tax and contributions).
What are the benefits?
- Reside in Cyprus for 1 year, with the option to renew for additional 2 more years,
- Bring your family (spouse/partner and underage children) Note: Family members can live in Cyprus but without the right to work or run a business locally,
- Tax perks: If you spend more than 183 days in Cyprus during the same calendar year, then you will be considered Cyprus tax residents and be eligible to a number of tax benefits. Those that spend less than 184 days in Cyprus but over 60 days, can still be considered Cyprus tax residents, as long as they meet some additional criteria.
