Cyprus is an EU member island in the Eastern Mediterranean, known for beautiful beaches, ancient ruins, year-round sunshine, and the divided capital Nicosia (last divided capital in Europe). The Republic of Cyprus (Greek Cypriot south) is the internationally recognized government, while the northern part is administered by Turkish Cypriots. Visitors are drawn to Paphos Archaeological Park (UNESCO site), Troodos Mountains monasteries (UNESCO sites), Ayia Napa and Protaras beaches, Larnaca's Church of Saint Lazarus, Cape Greco, Akamas Peninsula hiking, and vibrant nightlife. Cyprus offers Mediterranean culture, excellent cuisine (mezze), and historical treasures.

Visa Requirements for Cyprus

Cyprus is an EU member but not yet part of the Schengen Area, maintaining its own border controls. EU/EEA/Swiss citizens can enter with just a valid ID card or passport for unlimited stays. Citizens of the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and many others can enter visa-free for tourism or business stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day period. Note that this 90-day limit is calculated separately from Schengen; days spent in Cyprus don't count toward Schengen limits. Those requiring visas should apply through Cyprus embassies or consulates (pro-visa system), providing application forms, photographs, travel insurance, proof of accommodation, and financial means. Northern Cyprus (Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus) has separate entry procedures.
