Cyprus residence permit for non-EU/EEA remote workers earning at least €3,500/month net; 1-year initial, renewable up to 3 years total. Capped at 500.
Launched in October 2021 and expanded to 500 permits in March 2022, Cyprus's Digital Nomad Visa is a residence permit for non-EU/EEA nationals working remotely for employers or clients outside Cyprus. Administered by the Migration Department, applications are filed in person in Nicosia within three months of arrival and examined in 5–7 weeks.
Applicants need a stable net monthly income of at least €3,500, work via telecommunications, and either be employed by a foreign company or self-employed serving foreign clients. The permit lasts one year and is renewable for up to two more (three years total). Spouse/civil partner and minor children get matching permits but cannot work in Cyprus. Fees: €70 permit + €70 one-off registry.
This visa is ideal for high-earning remote professionals — engineers, consultants, designers — wanting a Mediterranean base with English-friendly culture and optional Cyprus tax residency at 183 days.
