As a US citizen, does Cyprus count towards my 3 months in Schengen? I’ve read that the South is part of Greece, the North part of Turkey, but that Cyprus is not considered Schengen. The whole thing confuses me, would love any insight.
Anyone spent time there? Recommendations? Internet?
Part of the EU. Legally obliged to join the Schengen. However, the “Cyprus Dispute” remains as an obstacle to joining (the split between Greek and Turkish Cypriots that you mention).
I have many Entrepreneurial friends that have “MOVED THERE” to take advantage of tax laws and the like. I only have heard second hand that the internet is good.
yep, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schengen_Area

Cyprus is the best place to optimize you taxes as digital nomads. Many high-income remote entrepreneurs also spend 2 months a year in Paphos or Larnaca, and live a better life than in their home countries. My recommendation is to check this out, so many information on Google or Youtube ;)
