The current Cyprus 60-day route requires at least 60 Cyprus days, no more than 183 days in another country, qualifying work/business and an owned or rented permanent home. Arrival and departure are counted differently; ending the qualifying work/business during the year can change the result.

Who it applies to

Individuals who meet the Cyprus home and work/business conditions and are checking the 60-day route.

The rule

Requires a permanent owned/rented home and qualifying business, employment or office in Cyprus, plus no more than 183 days in any other single country. The current 2026 rule does not require non-residence everywhere else. Day counts do not decide treaty residence.

Counting the days

Arrival counts; departure does not, except a same-day visit. Same-day departure and re-arrival require manual review because date-only records cannot establish the order.

  1. Choose the date through which you want to count, then add your recorded visits.
  2. Use the counting convention above. Overlapping recorded dates in the relevant region are counted only once.
  3. Read the result alongside the conditions. Missing records and other eligibility requirements are not inferred from a total.

Common misconceptions

“A count below the day threshold settles tax residence.”

A recorded-day total is one component. Review the separate conditions and exceptions described on this page.

“Unrecorded days are included in the total.”

The calculator uses only the dates you enter. Missing history can make the result incomplete.
