Cyprus’s passport and visa requirements vary for different nationalities. Citizens of the European Union (EU) countries (including Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein) need a passport or a valid ID. The rest of the citizens of other countries will need a passport. Many countries, including the United States, Canada, United Arab Emirates, Australia, and Japan, benefit from visa-free entry for tourism short stays of up to 90 days maximum. Travellers requiring a short-stay visa (valid for up to 90 days), such as those from some Middle-Eastern, African, or Asian nations, the visa must be obtained prior to arrival. All visitors should ensure their passport is valid for at least six months beyond their intended stay. If you're not sure whether or not to apply for a visa, we recommend you contact the embassy or consulate in your country. For Northern Cyprus, nationals of most countries will need to obtain a visa for stays of under 90 days. Citizens of the European Union (EU) countries, United Kingdom and United States do not need visas for North Cyprus, for tourism entry and up to 90 days.
