What’s the best store (online preferably) for standing desks, office chairs, outdoor table & chairs here in Cyprus (Paphos)?

jchmdc 3mo

And for electronics?

Just arrived in Cyprus for two months. Bought a cute small flat in Ayia Napa to live in and rent via AirBnB during the rest of the year.

Planning to use it for LTD incorporation and applying as a non-dom via the 60 days rule to get fiscal residency here.

Taxes here aren’t great, but if you go through a dual-structure with an offshore to avoid corporate tax, then you’d avoid 12.5% in exchange for company maintenance fees in 0% jurisdictions like Hong Kong, Seychelles, BVI etc.

I think we can talk more on #taxes channel to share some experience about substance and feasibility of the structure.

Overall pretty safe on the streets no ghettos or anything

Which community?

miltongeo 3mo

I am from Cyprus (live in between Dubai/Cyprus), Cyprus is VERY safe considered one of the safest countries in EU

miltongeo 3mo

everything is great only negative you will get bored in winter if you are a solo traveler or living alone... imo

Where do you find good cleaners in Cyprus (Paphos) at decent prices?
There’s lots of cleaning “companies” here that charge exorbitantly.

cmin764 1mo

What kind of prices did you get and what kind of cleaning services? For short-term rental or yourself?

cmin764 1mo

Looking as well for such service recommendation in Ayia Napa, found for now ranges between 60-80 eur for a 2-3h cleaning time of a 1 bedroom flat.

If anyone is in Larnaca, I'll be here until April 11. Would love to meet up and grab a coffee or drink.

jchmdc 26d

What line of business are you in?

carloshelder 23d

At Larnaca now, to spend 1/2 month here to keep my residence... Though hope politicians vote not have to anymore!

lisakf 23d

I am also here right now, two times a year each for a month to keep my residence 😅
@carlos_business do they vote to get rid of it? 😮

carloshelder 23d

hello eveyone!

my name is Beau, im an american living in cyprus. Been here for a couple years now, but just now moved to limmasol. was in paphos before.

i operate some software companies and do a bit of M&A here and there.

looking to make some new friends in limmasol!

beaucr 22d

i have a cleaner from zimbawa that is pretty good. I pay her 10/hr.

if you want, i can send you her contact info.

i've had some luck making job postings on bazaraki. but you get a lot of people call saying "i need visa". kind of got to talk to 10 people until you find one decent worker

beaucr 21d

anyone want to play some padel in limmasol this weekend? I have a court booked out on saturday

jchmdc 19d

That would be very helpful, Thanks a lot!

jchmdc 19d

Just out of curiosity: Don't you still pay taxes to the US as an American citizen?

beaucr 19d

yes!

beaucr 19d

im probably the only entreprenuer in cyprus not for tax purposes

beaucr 19d

america, there are some benefits and deductions you get by being foreign. but that could apply to any country you live.

but yes generally speaking, for an american you get no tax benefits, and additionally you just get more paperwork headaches.

beaucr 19d

if you pay tax in a foreign country, you then get credits against your tax bill in the us.

so you basically pay the difference if you live in a country that has a lower tax rate

carloshelder 19d

I can't. It's banned by the bot

loxs 18d

you can't say what time and day it is?

beaucr 18d

where are you? if there is enough people in limmasol, i'll be down to organize a monthly meetup

beaucr 18d

react with a thumbs up if you would be down for a meetup in limmasol, let's say saturday April 26th

if we get enough people, ill organize it

loxs 17d

I am in Nicosia but willing to come to Limmasol

loxs 15d

How does one see a doctor here? I tried calling several specialis's offices and they want to book me after 1 or 2 months. Is this normal? Should I try a GP instead of the specialist directly? Could someone recommend a (private) clinic that usually can see me sooner (in Nicosia)?

beaucr 15d

i don't know any in nicosia. but in IASIS Hospital in paphos is great and private.

i've had people there visit my house on weekends, they are very quick and helpful

beaucr 15d

1-2 months is not normal, but hey welcome to cyprus!

don't accept an appointment this far in advacned, if you do, when you show up in a month they will probably forget there was even an appointment

keep calling until you find someone that will take you

loxs 15d

Thank you

lucasxhy 14d

hey everyone thinking of moving to cyprus more specifically to thalimassol or larnaca and could do with some guidance/thoughts on what the best path forward is

lucasxhy 14d

ideally some recommendations of nicer places to live in? Ive tried chatgpt. but nothing like hitting the source

beaucr 13d

limmasol is a significantly better city, it's not even close. but it depends what you like

beaucr 13d

larnaca and nicosia, i don't think you can enjoy unless you are greek

beaucr 13d

limmasol is more "foreigner" friendly

paphos is, but paphos is a very laid back lifestyle. and it's more of a village.

beaucr 13d

i just moved to limmaol, from paphos. it's a big difference.

Limmasol is more expensive though. so for budget-wise i suppose larnaca and paphos is much better.

lisakf 13d

I have my appartment in Larnaca and at first it took time to get used to, but now i like it! The sea is very nice, i love to walk around there and it is good for running 🏃🏼‍♀️😅

loxs 9d

This is absolutely not true. Been living in Nicosia for the past year. Kids going to an international kindergarden. We have a community around that, mostly expats. Almost everyone speaks English (I mean random people around the city). There are many coworking spaces, gyms, cafes, shops, etc. I haven't met many "nomads" but this doesn't make it less great. And Limassol is just an hour away.

beaucr 9d

okay, i have not spent that much time in nicosia besides embassy appointments, so i may be wrong about nicosia, sorry
