Tax residency in Niue

How to become a tax resident — and how hard it is to leave.

How to become a tax resident

• ordinary residence / habitually resident in Niue

There is no investment or nomad visa route; a foreign individual generally must first obtain a discretionary temporary permit sponsored by a Niuean resident, business, or the government, then after 3 years’ continuous residence may apply for permanent residence.

Niue taxes individuals only on Niue‑source income and residency hinges on being ordinarily or habitually resident, so ceasing to live there and cutting local ties generally ends tax residence without long tail rules.
