Thinking of relocating and working in Cyprus? We don’t blame you! Cyprus is a highly attractive jurisdiction not only to set up and run your business, but also to live and enjoy the benefits of the island life.
Why Cyprus?
Cyprus, since antiquity, was known as the crossroad of 3 continents – Europe, Asia and Africa. Located in the East of the Mediterranean Sea, the island enjoys a temperate climate with hot and dry summers and mild winters. Due to its strategic location, and despite its small size, the island has established a strong reputation as a “centre of excellence” and a dynamic business hub in the European Union, while it is also attractive to multicultural tourists for its sunny weather and famous beaches.
According to several studies, Cyprus is ranked one of the safest countries in the world with very low levels of crime. It also offers high quality education, from pre-school to university, and excellent and widely accessible health care to all residents.
Even though the native language is Greek, English is widely spoken all over the island and is the predominant business language, making the communication with locals quite easy for foreigners.
Combining the above with the tax benefits offered for foreigners and the advanced banking system, is what makes Cyprus a very attractive jurisdiction to relocate to, for both businesses and individuals.
