Cyprus

Visas

In both the Republic of Cyprus and Northern Cyprus, nationals of the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Singapore can enter and stay for up to three months without a visa. Citizens of South Africa may enter for up to 30 days without a visa. EU citizens have no work or stay restrictions in the South, but can stay in the North for up to three months.

When you are crossing from the South into the North, you must fill in a visa paper, which requires your personal details, such as name and date of birth, and your passport number.

You can use the same visa paper for several entries and exits, and it gets stamped each time you cross. You must have your passport to cross from one side to the other.

The same border-crossing rules apply for Greek and Turkish travellers as for everyone else.
