What is the Cyprus Digital Nomad Visa?

The Cyprus Digital Nomad Visa is a specialized residence permit designed for non-EU/EEA nationals who wish to reside in Cyprus while working remotely for employers or clients located abroad. This initiative reinforces Cyprus’s reputation as a prime destination for digital professionals by offering an exceptional quality of life, a business-friendly environment, and one of the most attractive tax regimes in Europe.

With its strategic location, advanced digital infrastructure, and favourable climate, Cyprus provides an ideal setting for remote workers seeking both professional growth and an outstanding work-life balance.

Who is Eligible?

To qualify for the Cyprus Digital Nomad Visa, applicants must meet the following criteria:

• Be a non-EU or non-EEA national.
• Perform work remotely using telecommunications technology.
• Be employed by a company registered abroad or be self-employed offering services to clients located outside Cyprus.
• Demonstrate a stable monthly net income of at least €3,500, with additional financial requirements for dependents:
  • +20% for a spouse or civil partner.
  • +15% for each dependent child.
• Hold comprehensive health insurance covering their stay in Cyprus.
• Provide a clean criminal record certificate from their country of residence.

Family Members: Spouses, civil partners, and dependent minor children can join the digital nomad under the same permit. However, dependents are not permitted to work in Cyprus and must apply separately for a temporary residence permit if they wish to remain in the country.

Duration and Renewal

The Cyprus Digital Nomad Visa is initially granted for one year and can be renewed for an additional two years, provided that all eligibility requirements continue to be met.
