It is common for high-net-worth individuals to relocate to Cyprus for employment purposes. If the Permanent Residence Permit is not the right route for you and/or your family, Cyprus offers several alternate ways to live and work in Cyprus:
Business Facilitation Unit: visas for highly skilled third country nationals – the Ministry of Finance announced in 2022, that they are introducing the Business Facilitation Unit to assist highly skilled third country employees with a minimum gross salary of €2,500 per month, to gain work permits in Cyprus. These permits will last up to three years.
Digital Nomad visa: non-EU nationals who are self-employed, salaried, or on a freelance indonesia mobile database basis can apply for the right to live and work from Cyprus remotely, for up to one year. The visa can be renewed for another two years.
Why Relocate to Cyprus for Work?
