Hello,
I moved from Germany to Cyprus in 2020 and spent more than 60 days each year in Cyprus under the non-domicile status during 2020, 2021, and 2022.
Additionally, I established a Cypriot LTD to handle my Amazon business in Europe.
In 2023, I obtained residency in Paraguay and decided not to continue spending two months annually in Cyprus. (spending most of the time in different countries in asia) My Cypriot lawyer advised that I would no longer qualify for the non-dom status, as it could lead to complications upon review.
To maintain operations of my LTD, I was advised to appoint a local director and secretary. Consequently, a management company now fulfils these roles, and I remain the sole shareholder.
Currently, I face a new challenge: I need a verifiable address in Cyprus, to satisfy certain business requirements, such as presenting a utility bill. Additionally, Amazon may request details about my director, but since the director role is held by a company, this might not be sufficient for Amazon's requirements.
Evidence of Physical Operations at the Stated EU Business Address:

Evidence of Physical Operations at the Stated EU Business Address:
Provide 1 of those:
- A utility bill from a utility company (e.g., water department, electricity authority) addressed to the company that is less than three months old.
- If using a shared working space, either your license agreement or copies of invoices for payment of rent, in the company's or partnership's name, or in the name of a director/partner, for a period of 6 months or longer.
You need to provide two documents, one from each category:
Category A:
- A copy of the company's registration as an 'employer' with the social insurance department having a Social Insurance Employer Identification Number.
- A screenshot of the Employer Return payroll tax return submission, accompanied by emoluments certificate for the employee.
- A statement from a local bank account in the name of the company/partnership or of a director/partner less than three months old.
(I only use Wise as my bank since 2020)
Given these complexities, I'm looking for cost-effective solutions to address these issues.
Please let me know if you know good options for this.
Best regards.
