Entry Requirements: Check the table below for the required type of ID, visa or permit needed to enter Cyprus. If it is not apparent to a border official that you are only visiting Cyprus (by presenting your itinerary and/or return ticket) you might be asked to provide the address of your accommodations and your planned departure date. Regulations change periodically. Please contact the consulate office closest to you.

1) Passport: Passport valid for at least 6 months beyond your scheduled length of stay. Cyprus is divided into two countries; the Republic (Greek) and the North (Turkish). On May 1, 2004, the Republic of Cyprus changed its entry requirements to allow visitors to cross the "green line" in either direction between the southern part of the island and the northern area, subject only to a passport identity check and possible evidence that they do not constitute a threat to public order and security. While visitors are usually able to cross between the north and south without interference, they may occasionally encounter difficulties at both Turkish-Cypriot and Republic of Cyprus checkpoints.

2) Visa/Permit/Tourist Card: No visa is required for stays of up to 90 days.

Single parents or other adults vacationing alone with children should be aware that some countries require documentary evidence of parental responsibility before allowing lone parents to enter the country or, in some cases, before permitting the children to leave the country.
