Foreign pension income taxed at a flat 5%, versus 40–52% marginal rates in northern Europe. 300 days of sunshine, low cost of living, excellent private healthcare, and a genuine community of international retirees.
Your whole family under one application. Dependants are included. Cyprus has international schools with English as the medium of instruction, low crime, and a genuinely safe, child-friendly environment.
Location-independent professionals seeking permanence rather than a short-term visa. The Category F and non-dom combination gives remote workers and high-net-worth individuals a robust, long-term structure.

Start Your Strategy Call →I live and work in Cyprus. I navigate the immigration system, not from a distance, but every single day.
Before you spend a euro, you will know exactly what is possible, what it costs, and how long it takes. No surprises. No vague timelines. Just a clear plan from someone who has done this many times.
All residency applications are filed in partnership with a licensed Cyprus law firm, ensuring full legal compliance at every stage.
Clients I have worked with have come from:
Kleanthis was the only adviser I spoke to who gave me a straight, honest answer about the Category F threshold and what it actually means for my specific pension income. No fluff, no upselling. Approved in under 4 months.
As a South African national, I assumed the non-EU process would be a nightmare. Kleanthis handled everything. The document list was precise, nothing was missing, and he kept us updated every step. My family and I are now Cyprus residents.
Six months going in circles with another adviser and nothing moved. One call with Kleanthis, a clear plan, and we were approved three months later. The tax structure alone saves us more than €40,000 a year. I wish I had found him first.
