Visa Information

As Cyprus is a candidate country bound to join the Schengen Area, Residents of non-EU countries who hold valid multiple-entry Schengen visas must first pass through a full Schengen member territory in order to utilize the visa in Cyprus. The Schengen Visa holder is allowed to travel to Cyprus directly from a Schengen member country without applying for a National Cypriot visa and stay in the Republic of Cyprus for the duration of their Schengen visa.

The above arrangements do not apply for residents of Turkey or holders of Turkish or Azeri citizens passports. If you are a resident of Turkey or a Turkish or Azeri passport holder, please click here for more details on how to apply for a Cyprus Visa.
