Important note for travelers

As Cyprus is a candidate for 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 use their visas 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 persons holding a Turkish or Azerbaijani passport. If you are affected, please visit the Cyprus Ministry of Foreign Affairs website on how to apply for a Cyprus Visa.
