Internet in Limassol

In M-Lab's open speed tests within 25 km of Limassol, half came in above 69 Mbps download and 36 Mbps upload, and the fastest quarter of lines above 204 Mbps.

That's 288,550 download tests from September 2025 to September 2026.

The typical figure counts every line, cheap and mobile ones too; a fiber line in a good apartment or coworking space is closer to the fastest quarter.

Cost of living in Limassol

One person spends about $2,096 a month in Limassol, with a furnished place to stay:

The rent is estimated from Cyprus's housing prices, as Inside Airbnb doesn't cover Limassol.

The rest is what a one-person US household spends (the Bureau of Labor Statistics' 2024 survey), at Cyprus's prices for each (the World Bank's 2021 price comparison).

Coworking, insurance and flights come on top.

Visas, taxes and residency in Cyprus

Before you plan a long stay, check what your passport allows and what staying does to your taxes:

• Can you stay? – see where your passport goes without a visa on the visa-free countries map, and whether Cyprus has a visa for remote workers in the digital nomad visa finder
• Tax – compare Cyprus's income tax with other countries in tax rates by country
• Tax breaks for new residents – Cyprus has a regime for people who move there; see it in tax breaks for new residents
• Foreign income – Cyprus taxes its tax residents on their income from anywhere; see the rule and its exceptions on the territorial tax map

Each tool reads the official rules, so the answer is for your own passport and income.

A card with no foreign fee and an account that holds several currencies make a stay much cheaper:

• Accounts – the best bank accounts for digital nomads, by where you live
• Cards – what a card costs you abroad in the card fees abroad calculator
