Yes, you can open a company in Cyprus without living in or ever visiting Cyprus.

The company can become tax resident in Cyprus. The easiest way would be to ensure that the majority of the company's directors are resident in Cyprus.

The company might also be tax resident where you live, depending on what your local law says about tax residence. Speak with a local professional.

Indeed, I total agree with Sols and Koohl.

Forming a tax resident company while the investor/majority shareholder resides abroad needs careful planning from both Cyprus level and the country of residence of the shareholder.

PoEM on Cyprus level is satisfied (as Sols mentioned) by using local directors but more in depth analysis of the activities and scale of business needs to be made to tackle aspects of substance, CFC rules, Double tax treaties and ATED.

Happy to PM you if you need assistance.
