Can Israelis live in Cyprus?
Short answer
Yes. Israelis can visit Cyprus without a visa for up to 90 days in any 180; to stay longer, you need a residence permit from the Migration Department, and which one depends on what you will do here.
Working remotely for employers or clients outside Cyprus: the Digital Nomad Visa, with a net income of at least €3,500 a month. It is issued for a year and can be renewed for up to two more; family members can join you but cannot work.
Working for your own company here: a residence and employment permit through a company of foreign interests, with a gross salary of at least €2,500 a month. Investing at least €300,000 plus VAT in a new home, with a secure income from abroad of at least €50,000 a year (plus €15,000 for a spouse and €10,000 for each child): permanent residence, which lapses after two years' absence.
Living on your own income without working: a visitor permit, with at least €2,000 a month paid into a Cyprus bank account. We prepare and submit the application, and your family's in the same file.
