Visa and working hours
Digital nomad visa available
Cyprus introduced the 'Digital Nomad Visa Scheme' in October 2021, aimed at attracting remote workers from non-EU and non-EEA countries to temporarily reside in the nation. The objective is to position Cyprus as a hub for electronic services provision and contribute to the country's economic development by welcoming digital nomads. Initially, the scheme had a cap of 100 residence permits, but as of March 2022, the Council of Ministers raised the ceiling to 500 permits. By granting these temporary residency visas, Cyprus seeks to strengthen its position as a center for digital nomads and benefit from their presence in the local economy.
Working hours
Cyprus operates on Eastern European Time (EET), pushing it an hour ahead of Western Europe throughout the year.
