Cyprus Visa Information

Tourism Entry & Visitor Visa Options for Traveling to Cyprus

Cyprus is a beautiful Mediterranean destination known for its sunny beaches, historical sites, and charming coastal towns. Many nationalities can enter visa-free for short tourist stays, especially those eligible under EU or Schengen travel arrangements, making it convenient for travelers planning vacations or family visits.

For visitors who require authorization, Cyprus offers a Short-Stay Visitor Visa, which typically allows stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period for tourism, leisure, and non-work-related activities. Applicants generally need a valid passport, travel insurance, proof of accommodation, financial means, and confirmed return travel.

Those who wish to remain longer can apply for visa extensions or consider long-term permits such as study or residence visas, depending on their purpose. Cyprus also offers special programs such as temporary residence options for retirees and long-term visitors seeking an extended stay.

It depends on your nationality. Citizens of many countries enjoy visa-free entry for short stays (up to 90 days), while others must apply for a visa beforehand.

Most travellers use the “Short-Stay Visa (Category C)” for tourism or short visits — this allows a stay of up to 90 days in any 180-day period.

Typical requirements include a valid passport (with sufficient validity beyond your stay), a completed visa application form, recent passport-size photos, confirmed flight booking (return/ onward), proof of accommodation (hotel booking or stay address), proof of sufficient funds, and travel health insurance.
