Visa Overview
Cyprus is a low-tax island paradise. The nomad visa cap is limited to a few thousand people per year, so you have to apply early. It's a great spot for sunshine and high-speed internet in Limassol.
Pet Entry & Rules
Entry is strict as it's an island (rabies vax + blood test if coming from high-risk). The heat in summer is intense, so pets need AC. Many beaches have 'No Dogs' signs.
Tax Residency
Cyprus has a 'Non-Dom' status. If you qualify, you pay 0% tax on dividends and interest, and there are significant exemptions for high-earning remote workers.
