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.

Who qualifies for the Digital Nomad Visa in Cyprus?
Remote workers earning income from outside Cyprus with sufficient income, suitable accommodation, valid insurance, and clean records.
Can I work for Cypriot employers on this visa?
No. This route is for remote work with an employer or business established outside Cyprus.
How long does the process take?
Preparation depends on document readiness and legalisation. Decision times depend on the authorities.
Can family members join me?
Often yes, depending on the rules. We confirm eligibility and prepare the family documents.
Do my documents need legalisation or apostille?
Many foreign documents require legalisation/apostille and certified translation. We confirm what applies to your case.
How much income do I need for the Cyprus Digital Nomad Visa?
The Cyprus Digital Nomad Visa requires proof of stable net income of at least €3,500 per month after tax and contributions, earned from an employer or clients based outside Cyprus. A higher figure applies where a spouse or dependent children are included, and the scheme runs under an annual quota, so the exact amount and current availability are confirmed at intake before filing. MegaServe verifies your income evidence and prepares the complete application for the Civil Registry and Migration Department.
How much does the Cyprus Digital Nomad Visa cost?
Total cost has two parts: MegaServe's coordination fee and government/authority fees (application fee, biometrics, residency card, and any legalisation or translation required). We provide a clear written quote after the intake call with no hidden charges. Family member fees are billed per applicant and translations are priced per document.
