The 60-day rule is designed for individuals who meet a specific combination of conditions.
Spending 60 days in Cyprus alone is not enough.
Your position needs to fit together.
60+ DAYS IN CYPRUS

CYPRUS CONNECTION
Carry on business, work in a Cyprus tax-resident company or hold an office in a Cyprus tax-resident company, subject to the applicable conditions.
PERMANENT HOME
Maintain a permanent residential property in Cyprus that you own or rent.
NO OTHER TAX RESIDENCE
Do not qualify as a tax resident of another country during the same year.
You must also remain within the applicable limit on days spent in any other single country.
This is a multi-condition test — not a 60-day shortcut.
See If I Qualify01 — COUNT
Map your travel. We review where you expect to spend the year and whether you can meet the day-count conditions.
02 — CHECK
Test every requirement. We check the Cyprus home, employment, business or office conditions and your tax-residency position elsewhere.
03 — CONNECT
Review the wider position. We consider how Cyprus residency connects with Non-Dom status and relevant income.
04 — DOCUMENT
Support the residency position. We help with the relevant registrations, declarations and supporting documentation.
One rule. Several conditions. One clear eligibility review.

You run businesses across markets and cannot spend most of the year in one country. We assess whether your Cyprus business connection and travel pattern can support the 60-day route.

Your work requires frequent international travel, but you want Cyprus to become your established tax base.
INVESTORS
You have international investments and want to explore Cyprus residency and potential Non-Dom treatment.
REMOTE BUSINESS OWNERS

| Often suited to internationally mobile individuals. | Often suited to people living primarily in Cyprus. |

| Requires a qualifying Cyprus connection and permanent home. | Can be more straightforward where Cyprus is clearly your main year-round base. |
| Requires careful consideration of residency elsewhere. | Naturally fits individuals spending most of the year in Cyprus. |

Find My Residency RouteMeeting the 60-day rule can establish Cyprus tax residency.
It does not automatically establish Non-Dom status.
Once residency is clear, we can assess your domicile position and whether the Cyprus Non-Dom regime may provide relevant SDC exemptions on qualifying dividend and interest income.

Residency opens the door. Non-Dom is the next assessment.
The 60-day rule sits at the intersection of travel, tax residency, Cyprus business connections, Non-Dom status and international tax exposure.
NAKLAW looks at those pieces together.

Following the accession of Cyprus in the EU in 2004 and the abolition of the "offshore regime", Cyprus has maintained a simplified and effective tax system in full compliance with the EU and the OECD.
As a result of the above Cyprus has become a stable EU, "non-offshore" low tax jurisdiction with a beneficial tax regime for foreign businesses and individuals as well as a safe professional business environment.
Cyprus has one of the lowest-taxation rates within the EU, with a flat tax rate at 15% on profit. Cyprus offers additionally to its tax benefits, great advantages as a respectful and useful jurisdiction for holding companies.
