The scheme is open to non-EU and non-EEA nationals working remotely for an overseas employer or clients who can prove net monthly income of at least €3,500. The first residence permit is issued for one year and can be renewed for up to two additional years; the scheme remains capped at 500 permits, and family members may not work in Cyprus.
According to the Migration Department, Cyprus is accepting applications again under the Digital Nomad Visa scheme while keeping the ceiling at 500 permits. The key requirements are remote work performed for an entity or clients abroad, net monthly income of at least €3,500, and submission of the residence application within three months of arrival. The status is suitable for remote employees and self-employed professionals, but family members cannot work locally; staying over 183 days may also result in Cyprus tax residence. This is worth attention for remote workers seeking a temporary relocation route without employment by a Cypriot employer.
