Will you spend more than 183 days in Cyprus this calendar year?

If yes — you qualify for Cyprus tax residency under the 183-day rule, with no other conditions required.

Will you spend at least 60 days in Cyprus this calendar year?

Threshold for the 60-day rule. The other 60-day-rule conditions (permanent home, Cyprus economic activity, ≤183 days in any other single country) must also be met.

Do you maintain a permanent home in Cyprus (owned or rented for ≥12 months)?

Required condition for the 60-day rule. Short-term Airbnb / hotel stays do not count — the rule asks for a stable Cyprus residence.

Will you spend more than 183 days in any single other country this year?

If yes — you fail the 60-day rule (the rule requires ≤183 days in any single other country). The 183-day rule is unaffected.

Are you employed by, or a director of, a Cyprus company?

Required for the 60-day rule's 'Cyprus economic activity' test. Self-employment in Cyprus, or operating a Cyprus business, also qualifies.

Were you born in Cyprus, or has Cyprus ever been your domicile?

Domicile-of-origin question — Non-Dom status requires you not to be domiciled in Cyprus. Most non-Cypriot-born founders qualify by default.

Have you been Cyprus tax-resident for 17 of the previous 20 years?

If yes — you may be deemed Cyprus-domiciled and lose Non-Dom eligibility. Most internationally-mobile founders are far below this threshold.

Will the Cyprus role / business generate active income (employment, business, directorship)?

Confirms the 60-day rule's economic-activity requirement. Pure passive-income holders typically use the 183-day rule instead.
