I can't believe you failed to mention the non-domiciled residence program which exempts you from taxation for 17 years. Or that you forgot to mention that there is no income tax on dividends or interest (only a 17% defense contribution after your initial 17 years).

Interesting video. I was watching it because I speak Greek almost as well as English, and Cyprus is close to Lebanon, another country I like, but where it is hard to obtain residency. Please continue your interesting posts. It is definitely time for me to get out of the U.S., my Swiss bank account has been closed because of FATCA despite the fact that I am not even a U.S. citizen and do have a Swiss passport.

Thank you so much for sharing your story and experiences. I am learning so much from your videos and from other travel youtubers. I just quit my job and have began my adventures as a digital nomad! I'm so excited :D I am making videos sharing my journey too! I want to prove that anyone can do it! :D Best of luck for 2017, I hope your year is full of travels and exciting moments :D

Bad internet is somewhat common in all of the european islands is it not? While cablenet in Cypros gives you 150Mb download, just 8mbit upload for 99 euro. Melita offers 100/6 in Malta for 55euro (And don't list upload on their 250mbit line). The greek islands is no better.

Tax situation seems to be different if you don't remit to Cyprus or have a non-Cypriot company elsewhere. Income taxes for non-domiciled are different especially when earned elsewhere.

Non Domicile status can make a big difference for income generated outside of Cyprus, if you are tax resident in Cyprus but have personal income from outside Cyprus then if you are a non domicle status then you only pay income tax on money you bring to Cyprus. Read up about non domicle status, most foreigners will be eligible.

You captured the digital nomad living at Cyprus damn well. We moved there from Sweden and lived by the ocean right outside of Paphos for a year and half. We will come back. Friendly locals and loads of brits, dutch and some canadians. We had a phone/internet subscription from a Norwegian company, worked out very well, 100Gb/month -also with unlimited domestic phone calls as well as to Swe. The island is way more built up then Greece, the roads and houses etc. (and some aren´t) People are very nice and laid back. A very good combination of traditional Mediterranean lifestyle/cuisine and the western world life (thanks to UK) with a bit unusual US junk food (for Swedes like us) such as Dominos, Cinnabon etc. Also very easy to establish a living and work within EU -this with a perfect climate!

@@heww3960 you don't really see them in the cities. I lived there for 20 years and only saw the local big spider 3 times, all outside the house. Also they aren't that big. They are about 4cm body length, so a lot smaller than the UK cardinal spider. To be honest, I wouldn't say that spiders are a problem in Cyprus, especially if you live in the cities. Perhaps more in rural environments. Cockroaches and ants are more common, but they are much smaller than USA equivalents and they are very easily dealt with. No, there aren't many stray dogs, unlike Greece. Though locals are known to simply let dogs off their hook. For me, the most annoying insect which is very is the mosquito, though luckily they don't carry malaria or yellow fever. Just annoying bites. I wouldn't say the animals here are worse than anywhere else in the Mediterranean.

What’s up with you tubers standing in wind with mics ?

Locals are super xenophobic especially with influx of refugees and asylum seekers. Felt bad for an African friend of mine (a well-groomed General Surgeon from London) who was treated 'differently' especially by middle-aged and older generation. Interestingly the upper classes are anglophiles but lower classes blame the division of Cyprus on Brits and generally get moody around them. Another friend of mine was given the nickname 'Charlie' everywhere he went (especially in villages by old folk) which is a derogatory term for the English. So if you have a British accent be prepared for some uncomfortable political chats...best to ignore and quickly move on. It's a very 'closed' society and it has one of the highest prevalences of clinical depression in Europe. Unsurprisingly things here have deteriorated here a lot since 2013. Stay clear of Greek-Cypriots. Greeks from mainland are more composed and have a wider world view and generally seem more educated. ELAM, a right-wing party are on the up. Wouldn't advise non-Europeans buying citizenship here.

This is not correct. The bubble from 2008/2009 did not even burst for real. There are thousands of broken loans and the properties are now after many years coming on the market. Finally. This was because there a lot of legal stuff about it including the possibility for developers to have the right to distribute the properties themself for 5 years before the bank could even do somthing. This starts now. There is coming a lot more properties on the market in 2017 and later. That will effect the prices. The only place have more demand and more stable market is Limassol. The rest of the island is more or less in deep problems.

Christoph Fluri-Heckenbuecker Great insight. Thanks for sharing this. Although, in cases where the properties have not been occupied or actively maintained, I'm not sure some will be in great shape (in terms of mold, bacteria, cyanotoxins & other moisture sensitive biotoxins) with the high humidity of Cyprus winters. I'd rather take the wear & tear of human residents, since at least they tend to maintain things and keep areas properly aerated. Any idea what the predominant building materials are in Cyprus?

@ChristophFluriHeckenbuecker

The buildings are mainly concrete building with wall from bricks. I live in a insulated house now. It is cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Regarding your concerns I do not see it so dramatic on the hygenic side. There are also complexes that have been maintained but were not sold. It is more in the quality of the buildings itself. You need to know the area to make a wise investment decision. I only buy as an investment and prices are not coming down to be low enough. I am dealing now a package of apartments that have very good quality and promise very good return of investment. Including seeview etc. But you have to be patience to get it right. Also important: You can not but with money from the island. The banks give only very bad condition and destroy any investment idea.
