Case Study
Digital Nomad Visa for a Remote Employee (Anonymised)
Client: Non-EU national employed by an overseas company (anonymised)
The client moved to Cyprus while keeping overseas employment. The main requirement was clear proof of foreign income, plus accommodation and insurance.
MegaServe confirmed eligibility early, prepared the documents, submitted the application, and handled follow-ups. The file was kept organised for renewal.
Result: the permit was issued on first submission and the client relocated to Cyprus within the target quarter. The foreign employment continued uninterrupted, and the organised income evidence set was reused for the renewal cycle twelve months later without additional legalisation work.
