Constitución de una empresa en Chipre

DESPLACE LA TABLA HORIZONTALMENTE

Importante: el derecho de un no residente a ser titular de la empresa no concede automáticamente el derecho a vivir, trabajar o dirigirla desde ese país. La inmigración, el permiso de trabajo, la sustancia, la dirección efectiva y la residencia fiscal se evalúan por separado.

• —Incorporation does not disapply UBO disclosure, AML/KYC or sanctions screening by the registrar, notary, provider, tax authority or financial institution.
