Cyprus is in the EU but not in the Schengen area. The Migration Department is accepting applications again, with a ceiling of 500 permits. Net monthly income must be at least €3,500 after contributions and taxes, plus 20% (€700) for a spouse or civil partner and 15% (€525) for each child. There is no single amount per dependent. The first permit lasts one year. The renewal lasts up to two further years, three years in total. Apply at the Migration Department in Nicosia within three months of arrival, in person or through a representative. A national visa may be needed to enter, but the permit is not issued at an embassy. Fees are €70 to issue or renew the temporary residence permit and €70 for first registration in the Aliens' Register, for the applicant and each family member. A spouse or civil partner and minor children can stay for the same period but cannot work or do business in Cyprus. The holder cannot work for an employer or client in Cyprus. More than 183 days in a tax year makes the holder a Cyprus tax resident if they are not tax resident elsewhere, and tax residents are taxed on worldwide income. The permit has no special tax rate. A separate 50% exemption on employment exercised in Cyprus can apply to employees, not the self-employed, when pay exceeds €55,000 and a 15-year non-residence test is met, for up to 17 years.
