The second is to vigorously develop the digital environment and strive to attract scientific and technological talents with some new convenience visas;
However, simpler and more direct measures to attract talent, such as incentive policies, settlement policies, etc., seem not enough at the moment. We will continue to track the cutting-edge trends in Cyprus immigration policy! Please stay tuned!
