A route, not a decision
Only the Civil Registry and Migration Department decides a permit. The tool shows the route that usually fits and what to check before applying.
Up to five questions. You see the residence route that usually applies to a situation like yours, what it generally involves, and what it means for your tax.
Question 1 of 1
Up to five short questions. You will see the route that usually applies to a situation like yours. It is not a decision on eligibility, which only the Civil Registry and Migration Department makes.
The route that usually applies
Answer the questions on the left. The route that usually applies to a situation like yours appears here.
Permit rules, thresholds and processing times change. What is shown is general information checked in 2026, not immigration advice.
An illustrative guide only. Your own position depends on facts this tool does not ask about, and is confirmed on a call.
Three things to keep in mind.
Only the Civil Registry and Migration Department decides a permit. The tool shows the route that usually fits and what to check before applying.
A permit lets you live here. Whether you are Cyprus tax resident is a separate test, the 183-day or the 60-day rule, and it decides how your income is taxed.
Non-dom status, a Cyprus company and where your income is paid all work best when they are set up before you arrive. That is the part we do.
Once the route is clear, the question is how your income is taxed when you arrive. That is a conversation worth having before you move.
