About relocating to Cyprus
Cyprus holds a rare position in the EU: a eurozone member with an English-fluent population, a Mediterranean climate, and a Non-Domicile tax status that levies zero tax on dividends, interest, and capital gains for qualifying non-domiciled residents. This combination has made Cyprus the default EU relocation destination for founders, investors, and anyone with significant passive or dividend income.
The Digital Nomad Visa (non-EU nationals) requires €3,500/month in foreign-sourced income. Category 6(2) fast-track residency requires a €300,000 investment in property or a business. Employment by a Cyprus-registered company is the most common route for tech workers. Non-Dom status — the key tax benefit — applies automatically to individuals not domiciled in Cyprus and is available for 17 years.
Cyprus is purpose-built for founders, investors, and high-dividend earners who want EU residency with minimal personal tax on passive income. It is less suitable for those primarily earning employment income, where standard income tax rates apply. Limassol has emerged as the island's main business and expat hub.
