Do Lebanese citizens need a visa for Cyprus?
Short answer
Yes. Lebanese citizens need a visa for Cyprus, though EU rules allow Cyprus to accept a valid Schengen visa instead; check with the Cyprus consulate before you travel.
To live and work here, the usual routes are a residence and employment permit through a company of foreign interests, with a gross salary of at least €2,500 a month, or the Digital Nomad Visa for remote work for clients outside Cyprus.
