We assist with all aspects of the Visitor Permit application, ensuring compliance with Cyprus immigration laws.

Requirements for approval:

• Proof of legal residency in Cyprus for the sponsor
• Stable financial income sufficient to support dependents
• Adequate housing and medical insurance coverage
• Marriage certificate (for spouses) and birth certificates (for children)

Our firm handles all legal formalities, including document legalization and submission to the Migration Department.

Digital Nomad Visa

Cyprus offers a Digital Nomad Visa to non-EU/EEA nationals who wish to reside in Cyprus while working remotely for a foreign employer or as self-employed professionals serving international clients.

Key conditions:

• Monthly income requirement (currently set at €3,500 per month, plus an additional amount for dependents)
• Proof of remote employment or freelance contracts

Permanent Residency

Non-EU nationals can obtain Permanent Residency (PR) in Cyprus through various legal pathways, including investment programs, long-term residency, and family reunification.

Popular PR routes include:

• Regular Permanent Residency (Category F): Granted to individuals with sufficient independent income who reside in Cyprus for five years.

We assist clients in selecting the best residency option and managing the entire legal process.
