• Employment Requirement: Applicants must be employed by a company registered outside of Cyprus or be self-employed with clients located internationally.
• Income Requirement: Applicants need to demonstrate a stable and sufficient monthly net income of at least €3500/monthly after deductions.
Benefits of the Digital Nomad Visa:

• Family Member Inclusion: Family members can also reside in Cyprus for the same period without the right to employment or economic activity.
