Moving to Cyprus
Cyprus is one of the most attractive tax residencies in the EU — but only if you get the residency and domicile questions right. This is what actually matters, with the tools to check your own position.

What changes on the way out matters as much as the Cyprus side. Each guide covers the exit issues people actually get caught by.

If you work for a foreign employer or your own company while living in Cyprus, the questions that decide your bill are, in order:
- 1. Are you Cyprus tax resident? Either more than 183 days here, or the 60-day route with all 5 conditions met. The 60-day route is the one most nomads rely on, and its hardest condition is not being tax resident anywhere else.
- 2. Are you non-domiciled? Almost always yes for a new arrival, which removes SDC on dividends and interest for up to 17 years. That is what makes paying yourself in dividends so effective here.
- 3. How does the money reach you? Salary meets the progressive bands and contributions; dividends from your own company skip both and pay only 2.65% as a non-dom. The optimiser shows where the line sits for your numbers.
- 4. Does your old country still have a claim? Exit rules, treaty tie-breakers and where your employer is based can all keep you in another tax net. This is the part worth paying an advisor for.
General information on 2026 Cyprus rules, not advice on your circumstances. Residency, domicile and treaty questions turn on personal facts — take professional advice before relocating.
