What Moving from Dubai to Cyprus Involves
The Dubai to Cyprus route is one of Fusion’s most active — and one of the most geographically efficient on our network. With a short sea transit from Jebel Ali to Limassol port Cyprus is one of the closest international destinations we serve. This proximity makes it particularly attractive for clients who want rapid transit and predictable delivery windows.
Cyprus is an EU member state. The Republic of Cyprus is administered by the Cyprus Customs Department (Tmima Telonion) and implements EU Regulation 1186/2009, allowing qualifying individuals transferring residence to import used household goods free of VAT (19%) and customs duty.
Limassol is home to one of the largest UAE and Gulf expatriate communities in Europe — driven by Cyprus’s non-domicile tax regime, its EU membership, and its position as a major shipping and financial services hub. Fusion has managed more Dubai to Limassol moves than any other single destination outside the GCC. We know the Limassol Marina Germasogeia, Mouttagiaka, and Agios Tychonas areas in detail — including villa estate access and high-rise residential building logistics.
The non-domicile (non-dom) tax regime is a key driver of Dubai to Cyprus moves for high-net-worth individuals and business owners. Fusion briefs clients on the interaction between the non-dom application process and the customs exemption requirements — particularly the 12-month overseas residence requirement — at survey stage.

Vehicles & Pets — Moving to Cyprus
Vehicles to Cyprus
Fusion ships cars and motorcycles from Dubai to Cyprus by RoRo where the route offers it, or in a container, on their own or with your household goods, and handles the UAE side — export clearance, RTA deregistration and the export certificate. UAE cars are left-hand drive, and Cyprus drives on the left. Import duty, tax and registration in Cyprus depend on the vehicle and your circumstances, so we check the current rules for your car at survey, before you commit to shipping it. See our Automobile Relocation page.
Pets to Cyprus
Cyprus is an EU member state. Dogs and cats from the UAE need: ISO microchip, valid rabies vaccination, and an EU-format health certificate from an officially authorised UAE veterinarian within 10 days of travel. No quarantine required for pets meeting EU requirements. Fusion advises at survey stage — see our Pet Relocation page

How a Dubai to Cyprus Move Works
Your Move, Step by Step
Every Dubai to Cyprus move is managed end-to-end under a single contract — from your Dubai address to your Cyprus doorstep.
Free Pre-Move Survey
A Fusion surveyor visits your Dubai home or conducts a video survey to assess your volume, identify restricted items, and advise on the best shipping method. For high-net-worth Limassol lifestyle moves, fine arts, vehicles, and wine collections are assessed at this stage. The non-dom and ARC card timeline is also discussed so that customs documentation is timed correctly.
Cyprus Customs Documentation Prepared
Fusion prepares the removal goods declaration and itemised inventory. Your UAE residence documentation (12+ months), employer letter, and new Cyprus address are assembled. We brief you on the ARC card process if you are a non-EU national — this needs to be in progress before your goods arrive.

Dubai to Cyprus — Frequently Asked Questions
Everything You Need to Know Before You Move
For personalised advice, or.
How long does it take to move from Dubai to Cyprus?
Limassol is the shortest European sea route on our network; typical sea transit times are on our destinations overview. Add 3–5 days for UAE packing and export, and 2–5 working days for Cyprus Customs clearance at Limassol. Road delivery from Limassol to Nicosia is approximately 1.5 hours; Paphos approximately 1 hour; Larnaca approximately 1 hour. Air freight via Larnaca Airport is available for urgent shipments.
What is the removal goods exemption in Cyprus?
Cyprus implements EU Regulation 1186/2009 through the Cyprus Customs Department (Tmima Telonion). The exemption allows qualifying individuals transferring their normal residence from outside the EU to Cyprus to import used household goods free of Cypriot VAT (19%) and customs duty. To qualify: you must have lived outside the EU for at least 12 consecutive months, your goods must have been owned and in use for at least 6 months, and goods must not be sold or transferred for 12 months after import.
What is Cyprus’s non-domicile tax regime and how does it relate to my move?
Cyprus’s non-dom (non-domicile) tax regime exempts qualifying individuals from the Special Defence Contribution (SDC) on dividends, interest, and rental income. This effectively means passive income from investments, dividends, and savings can be received largely free of Cypriot tax by non-dom residents. Non-dom status requires Cyprus tax residency (either 183+ days or the 60-day rule) and not having been Cyprus-domiciled for the preceding 20 years. The 12-month overseas residence requirement for the customs exemption aligns closely with the non-dom qualification timeline for UAE-based individuals. Fusion advises on the documentation overlap at survey stage.
Can I bring my UAE car to Cyprus?
Fusion can ship a car from Dubai to Cyprus by RoRo where the route offers it, or in a container, and handles the UAE side — export clearance, RTA deregistration and the export certificate. UAE cars are left-hand drive, and Cyprus drives on the left. Whether your particular car can be imported and registered in Cyprus, and at what cost, depends on the vehicle and your circumstances — we check Cyprus’ current rules for it at survey, before you commit to shipping it. See our Automobile Relocation page.
What is an ARC card and do I need one?
An Alien Registration Card (ARC) is the residency identification card issued to non-EU nationals who are granted residency in Cyprus. It is required for all non-EU nationals intending to reside in Cyprus long-term. Applications are made through the Civil Registry and Migration Department (CRMD). For financially independent persons, a Category F permit is the typical route; business-related immigration uses the Fast Track Business Activation Mechanism. We plan the shipment around the ARC timeline your adviser gives you relative to your customs declaration at survey stage.
Does Fusion deliver to northern Cyprus?
No. Fusion delivers exclusively within the Republic of Cyprus (government-controlled areas). We do not operate in the northern part of Cyprus administered by the Turkish-Cypriot authorities (TRNC). All goods enter through Limassol port, which is in the Republic of Cyprus. If you have questions about your specific delivery address, contact our team before booking.
Can I move my pets from Dubai to Cyprus?
Yes. Cyprus is an EU member state with no quarantine requirement for pets meeting EU import rules. Dogs and cats from the UAE need: ISO-standard microchip, valid rabies vaccination, and an EU-format health certificate from an officially authorised UAE government veterinarian within 10 days of travel. No quarantine required for pets meeting these requirements. See our Pet Relocation page.
What items are prohibited in Cyprus?
Cyprus and the EU prohibit: controlled drugs, certain firearms (Cyprus permit required), CITES-regulated wildlife items, counterfeit goods, and hate material. Certain food products from outside the EU are restricted. Fusion screens every inventory against Cyprus Customs prohibited and restricted goods guidelines before packing begins. Moving to Cyprus?
