Following the introduction of digital nomad visas in Malta and Greece, it was anticipated that Cyprus would swiftly implement a similar program. This initiative grants UK citizens and other non-EU nationals the opportunity to reside and work remotely on the island for a period of 12 months, with the option to extend for an additional 24 months. Prospective applicants are required to provide a police clearance certificate from their country of residence and possess private medical insurance. Initially limited to 100 participants, the program has now been expanded to accommodate 500 temporary residency permits.<\/p>\n
