All five schemes get you living in Cyprus legally. The right one depends on your money, your job, and how soon you want full residency.

Visitors Visa: the non-dom route

The cheapest legal way for a non-EU national to become a Cyprus tax resident. You agree not to take employment in Cyprus. Foreign-source income and Cyprus dividends/interest are then sheltered under the 17-year non-domicile regime (0% tax on dividends, interest and capital gains on securities).

You qualify if

  • You have stable foreign income or capital

  • You can show a stable residential address in Cyprus
  • You plan to spend at least 60 or 183 days/year in Cyprus

You receive

  • 17 years of non-dom benefits
  • GHS healthcare enrolment
  • Right to bring spouse and dependents

Cyprus company certificates (registration, directors, shareholders)
Bank confirmation of €200,000 share capital deposit
Audited financials (if existing operation)
Business plan and 5-year forecasts
Police clearance certificate (per applicant)
Medical certificate (per applicant)
Employment contract and CV (for key personnel)

High Profile Personnel

  • Minimum income €3,500 / month (net)
  • 12-month permit (renewable)
  • Family allowed (no work rights)
  • Become tax resident after 183 days

  • €300,000 in Cyprus company shares (operating in Cyprus with at least 5 employees)
  • €300,000 in Cyprus investment funds (AIF/AIFLNP/RAIF)
  • Combination of the above

Conditions

  • Clean criminal record
  • Proof of stable annual income from abroad
  • No employment in Cyprus (you may be a director of a Cyprus company)
  • Visit Cyprus at least once every 2 years
  • Maintain the investment throughout PR life

Non-EU FAQs

Which visa is right for me?
Most clients fall into one of three buckets. Investors with passive income go for Visitors Visa + non-dom. Business owners with capital go for BCS (€200k) or PR by Investment (€300k). Skilled employees go via High Profile Personnel with an employer. We assess in a free initial call.
How fast can I move?
Visitors Visa: 2 to 4 months. Digital Nomad: 1 to 2 months. PR by Investment: typically 60 days from a complete file. BCS and High Profile vary based on employer and documentation readiness.
Can I work in Cyprus on a Visitors Visa?
Not as an employee. You can be a shareholder and director of a Cyprus company and receive dividends. For active income, switch to BCS or High Profile.
Do I get an EU passport?
PR is not citizenship. Cyprus citizenship by naturalisation is available after 7 years of legal residence (with 12 months continuous immediately before applying). The investment programme to fast-track citizenship was discontinued in 2020.
What about taxes?
As a Cyprus tax resident on the non-dom regime: 0% on worldwide dividends, interest and capital gains on securities for 17 years. Corporate tax is 15% (competitive within the EU). Personal income above €19,500 is taxed progressively up to 35%.
Can my family come?
Yes. Spouse and dependent children are included in every scheme. Parents are included in BCS and PR by Investment. We prepare each family member file in parallel so the whole household moves together.
Do I need to learn Greek or get a Greek translation of my documents?
Documents in English are typically accepted as-is. Russian, Arabic and other languages require certified translation. We coordinate the translations and apostilles.
How do I get started?
Send us your details via the New Client Enquiry form. We will reply within one business day with a route recommendation and a fixed-fee quote.
