Success Stories
Aleksej Kosovski
Software Developer from Poland
CyprusReside made the digital nomad visa process incredibly smooth. Their team helped me navigate the documentation requirements while I was still working from abroad. Within 3 weeks, I had my approval and was setting up in a beachside apartment in Limassol!
The coworking space recommendations and digital nomad community introductions were especially valuable for someone arriving without local connections.
Sarika Chenjavi
Digital Marketing Consultant from Singapore
As someone balancing multiple international clients, the tax implications of my move were a major concern. CyprusReside not only handled my visa application flawlessly but also connected me with a financial advisor who helped me understand the tax benefits of my new situation.
Two years later, I'm still in Cyprus and have even hired local talent for my business. The digital nomad visa was the perfect starting point!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I bring my family with me on a Digital Nomad Visa?
Yes, the Cyprus Digital Nomad Visa allows you to include your spouse/partner and dependent children under 18 years of age. Each family member will need to submit their own application forms and supporting documents. The financial requirement increases slightly for each dependent (approximately €500 per family member).
How is the income tax situation for digital nomads in Cyprus?
For the first 183 days of your stay in Cyprus, income earned from abroad is not subject to Cyprus taxation. After that period, if you become a tax resident, Cyprus has one of the most favorable tax systems in Europe:
- Personal income tax rates range from 0% to 35% with the first €19,500 being tax-free
- No tax on dividends, interest, and rental income from abroad
- No wealth tax or inheritance tax
- Extensive network of double tax treaties to prevent double taxation
We recommend consulting with a tax advisor for your specific situation.
Can I renew my Digital Nomad Visa after one year?
Yes, the Digital Nomad Visa is initially valid for one year and can be renewed for up to two additional years (for a total of three years). The renewal requires proof that you continue to meet the original requirements, particularly regarding remote work status and minimum income.
After three years, if you wish to stay longer in Cyprus, you would need to transition to another type of residence permit, such as a standard residence permit or an employment-based permit if your situation has changed.
Can I work for Cypriot companies while on a Digital Nomad Visa?
The Digital Nomad Visa is specifically designed for people working remotely for employers or clients outside of Cyprus. You are not permitted to provide services to Cypriot companies or individuals while on this visa.
If you wish to work for local companies, you would need to apply for a different type of permit, such as an employment-based residence permit, which requires a job offer from a Cypriot company.
What is the processing time for a Digital Nomad Visa application?
The average processing time for a Cyprus Digital Nomad Visa is 2-4 weeks from the date of submission, provided all documentation is complete and in order.
However, processing times can vary based on application volume and seasonal factors. With our services, we prioritize your application and maintain regular communication with the authorities to ensure the fastest possible processing.
Cyprus: The Ideal Mediterranean Hub for Digital Nomads
Cyprus has rapidly emerged as one of Europe's most attractive destinations for location-independent professionals seeking the perfect blend of lifestyle quality and working conditions. The introduction of the Digital Nomad Visa program in 2022 has solidified the island's commitment to welcoming remote workers from across the globe, offering a streamlined pathway to legal residence while maintaining employment or business relationships abroad.
What sets Cyprus apart from other digital nomad destinations is its unique combination of practical advantages and lifestyle benefits. The island boasts one of the EU's most robust digital infrastructures, with high-speed internet coverage reaching 98% of the territory and numerous modern coworking spaces in cities like Limassol, Nicosia, and Paphos. This technical foundation is complemented by Cyprus's strategic location at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa, allowing digital professionals to collaborate across multiple time zones with relative ease.
Beyond the professional considerations, Cyprus offers digital nomads an exceptional quality of life. With over 340 days of sunshine annually, pristine beaches, and a rich cultural heritage, the island provides the perfect backdrop for achieving work-life balance. The cost of living, while higher than some Southeast Asian digital nomad hubs, remains considerably lower than Western European capitals, allowing remote workers to enjoy a comfortable Mediterranean lifestyle without the accompanying premium price tag.
For digital professionals considering their next destination, Cyprus offers more than just a temporary base—it presents an opportunity to join a growing international community in an environment where ancient traditions and modern infrastructure come together seamlessly. Whether you're seeking productivity amid seaside tranquility, networking opportunities with like-minded globals, or a tax-efficient base for your remote career, the Cyprus Digital Nomad Visa provides the legal framework to transform these aspirations into reality.
