Moving to Cyprus for Influencers: Non-Dom Status, 60-Day Rule and EU Society

Cyprus as a destination for Creator

Anyone who becomes tax-based in Cyprus but does not have a domicile there within the meaning of Cypriot law can use non-dom status. Dividends and interest are then exempt from the special defense tax. The status is valid for up to 17 years and can be extended for a flat rate after a reform. Companies have paid a corporate tax of 15 percent since 2026. Under conditions, a stay of 60 days is sufficient for the tax residence if you do not stay in any other state for more than 183 days and are economically anchored in Cyprus.

There is a double taxation agreement with Germany. This helps in cases of doubt about residency, but does not protect against withdrawal tax and extended limited tax liability if Cyprus is considered a low-tax country in individual cases. The information on foreign law gives a general overview, as of November 2026. For the implementation, we work together with partner law firms on site.

For whom this is eligible

• Creator looking for an EU solution with low tax burden.
• Entrepreneurs who want to work through a Cypriot society.
• Creators who travel a lot and want to use the 60-day rule.

Tax and legal key points

Non-Dom Status

Non-Doms pay no special fee on dividends. One model is therefore: Society in Cyprus pays 15 percent corporation tax, the distribution of profits to the non-domly remains largely tax-free. Contributions to the health system may apply.

60-day rule

The prerequisites are, among other things, a 60-day stay, an apartment and a business activity or employment in Cyprus and no tax residence in another state.

German side

A German residence must be abandoned. With the agreement, the TIE-Breaker clause regulates duplication. For Cypriot society, it is crucial that it is actually managed in Cyprus.
