Why you can trust what is on this page
Every figure is sourced
Each tax rate, fee, and deadline links to an official Cypriot government source with the date it was verified. Where competitors still quote the abolished 12.5% rate, we cite the 2026 reform from the Official Gazette.
Licensed professionals only
The actual formation, tax, and residency work is done by independent, regulated Cyprus firms: advocates and licensed Administrative Service Providers, not by this website.
No hidden agenda
This is a lead-generation site. You pay nothing. We are paid by professionals for matched referrals; that keeps the guides free, unsponsored, and without affiliate links.

Common questions
How much does it cost to set up a Cyprus company?+
Typically €1,200–€2,600 professional fee plus a €165 government fee for the Companies Registry. The bank account is separate (€500–€1,000). Annual recurring costs — audit, secretary, registered office — add €1,500–€3,500 per year. Full cost breakdown →
Do I need to travel to Cyprus to form a company?+
No. A licensed Administrative Service Provider handles the full incorporation remotely under a power of attorney. The bank account sometimes requires a video KYC call, but in-person presence is rarely required. Formation guide →
What is the corporate tax rate in Cyprus?+
15% since 1 January 2026, raised from 12.5% by Law 18(I)/2024. Non-domiciled owners pay 2.65% GHS only on dividends for up to 17 years after becoming Cyprus tax residents. Interactive tax calculator →
Is Cyprus an offshore tax haven?+
No. Cyprus is a full EU member state on the EU whitelist of cooperative jurisdictions, with a public beneficial-owner register. It offers low tax legally — not anonymity or secrecy. What "offshore" really means →
How long does it take to get Cyprus residency?+
Category F (retirement/passive income): 2–4 months. Residency by Investment (AIP): 2–3 months. Digital Nomad Visa: 4–8 weeks. Work visa: 6–12 weeks depending on employer and permit type. All residency routes →
Can I open a Cyprus bank account without visiting?+
Usually yes, but expect mandatory video KYC and a 6–12 week processing time at major Cyprus banks. EMI alternatives (Wise Business, Revolut Business) open faster but are not full Cyprus bank accounts. Plan for the bank — it is the longer process. Full banking guide →
