STRATEGIC ACCESS TO EUROPE & MEDITERRANEAN LIFESTYLE
Cyprus Digital Nomad visa
Cyprus offers a streamlined and inspiring opportunity for remote workers seeking flexible EU residency in a sunny, secure, and connected Mediterranean destination. The Cyprus Digital Nomad Visa is designed for non-EU professionals employed by companies abroad or managing their own international businesses.
This visa allows digital nomads, freelancers, and entrepreneurs to live in Cyprus while working online for foreign employers or clients. With 300+ days of sunshine, modern infrastructure, and a growing expat community, Cyprus is an ideal base for location-independent professionals looking for quality of life and productivity.
With the Digital Nomad Visa, applicants can enjoy a one-year renewable residence permit in an EU country, without the need for local employment or investment. Cyprus provides stable internet connectivity, access to private healthcare, and a low cost of living—all set against the backdrop of a relaxed coastal lifestyle.
Applicants must demonstrate a monthly net income of at least €3,500, plus additional income for dependents. A valid health insurance policy, a clean criminal record, and proof of accommodation in Cyprus are also required. Although the visa does not currently grant Schengen travel rights, Cyprus is expected to join the Schengen Area in the near future.
At Coates Global, our experienced legal advisors handle the entire application process from start to finish, ensuring you can focus on your remote work while we take care of the details.
