Why people pick it
why Cyprus.
- A one-hour time difference, so a normal CET working day starts at 10:00 local time.
- English is widely spoken in daily life and business.
- Direct flights to many cities in Germany, the Netherlands and the Nordics.
- Established international communities in Limassol, Larnaca and Paphos.
Good to know
before you go.
- Summers are hot. A place with good air conditioning makes a real difference to your workday.
- Check the internet speed before you sign a rental contract; fibre is common in the cities but not everywhere.
As an EU or EEA citizen you can live and work in Cyprus under free movement rules; you register your residence after three months. Non-EU citizens can look at the Cyprus digital nomad visa. Rules change, so check the official Cyprus Civil Registry and Migration Department before you move.
