Two routes: 183 days physically present in a calendar year, OR the 60-day rule (60+ days, no other tax residency, ties via a permanent home + Cyprus business / employment / directorship). Plan with an ICPAC accountant before your first day.

Yes, but expect your home bank to ask about your residency on the next KYC review. CRS reporting means your Cyprus bank will share data back to your tax authority. There's nothing illegal about this — just plan accordingly.

Yellow Slip (MEU1) is for EU/EEA/Swiss citizens registering residence — straightforward. Pink Slip is the temporary residence permit for non-EU non-employed people, renewable annually. Different forms, different evidence.

EU licences are valid indefinitely. UK and most non-EU need to be exchanged within 6 months of becoming a resident, no test usually required for established licences (some exceptions). Road Transport Department handles it.

EU origin: EU pet passport, microchip, rabies vaccine (≥21 days before travel). Non-EU origin: same plus a rabies blood titer test (≥30 days post-vaccine, then 3 months wait). Total prep: ~4 months minimum from non-EU. Check the latest with a Cyprus-licensed vet.

Yes — the Digital Nomad visa is designed for exactly this if you're non-EU. EU citizens just need the Yellow Slip plus Cyprus tax residency planning. Talk to an accountant about employer-of-record vs registering yourself as self-employed in Cyprus.

Historic developer-financing meant some properties were sold without title deeds being separated and transferred. New laws have made this much safer, but always have a Cyprus Bar Association lawyer (not the developer's lawyer alone) review pre-purchase. Never sign without independent counsel.

International schools (English-medium) are concentrated in Limassol and Nicosia, with some in Paphos and Larnaca. Public schools are Greek-medium with limited Greek-as-second-language support — possible but tougher. Apply 6+ months ahead for top international.

Outside central Limassol and central Nicosia, yes. Public transport exists but is limited. Buying used is straightforward; left-hand-drive is standard. UK right-hand-drive imports are legal but resale is harder.

Coastal areas: mild (10–18°C in January), occasional rain. Troodos mountains: snow December–March. Inland Nicosia: chilly with morning frost rare. Most homes have AC for cooling and limited central heating — plan for cold winter mornings.

Yes — non-resident accounts are possible at all major banks (Bank of Cyprus, Hellenic, Alpha). Documentation is heavy: passport, utility bill, source-of-funds, sometimes professional reference. Allow 4–8 weeks remotely.
