Frequently Asked Questions
Can Digital Nomad Visa holders work with Cyprus-based clients or employers?
No. The Cyprus Digital Nomad Visa is designed exclusively for remote professionals who are employed by or provide services to companies and clients outside Cyprus. The visa does not permit holders to work for or offer services to Cyprus-based entities. However, you can legally manage your global business operations from Cyprus, benefiting from the island’s advanced digital infrastructure and international connectivity.
Can Digital Nomad Visa holders become tax residents of Cyprus?
Yes. If you reside in Cyprus for more than 183 days in a calendar year, you can apply to become a Cyprus tax resident. This status grants access to the Non-Domicile regime, offering 0% tax on dividends and interest for 17 years, a 50% personal income tax exemption, and eligibility under more than 65 international double tax treaties.
Can my family join me in Cyprus under the Digital Nomad Visa?
Yes. Spouses, registered partners, and dependent children can accompany you to Cyprus under family reunification. They receive residence permits that remain valid for the same duration as yours. However, family members are not permitted to work or engage in business activities in Cyprus. Our team can handle the entire family application process to ensure unified approval.
