Can I travel to Cyprus? The Covid entry requirements explained

Find out what tests you need to take, which forms you need to fill in and whether you need to be vaccinated to go on holiday to cyprus.

I t’s apt that Cyprus is the birthplace of Aphrodite, goddess of love. Sun-seeking Brits have long been head over heels for this Mediterranean island, which gets more than 320 days of sun a year.

Venture to Paphos for plenty of buzzing beaches and bars, Ayia Napa to explore its new Museum of Underwater Sculpture or the Troodos Mountains for hikes over striking gorges.

The UK is currently on the country’s red list and Covid measures have been tight; masks on beaches were only dropped recently. Happily, it loosened its restrictions on April 18 — just in time for summer. Here’s what you need to know.

Cyprus Travel Advisory

Travel advisory july 26, 2023, cyprus - level 1: exercise normal precautions.

Reissued with obsolete COVID-19 page links removed.

Exercise normal precautions in Cyprus. Some areas have increased risk. Read the entire Travel Advisory.

Country Summary: Do not attempt to enter the United Nations buffer zone at any place other than a designated crossing point. Police and UN forces strictly enforce this restriction.

Read the  country information page for additional information on travel to Cyprus.

If you decide to travel to Cyprus:

• Enroll in the  Smart Traveler Enrollment Program  ( STEP ) to receive security messages and make it easier to locate you in an emergency.
• Follow the Department of State on Facebook and Twitter .
• Review the  Country Security Report  for Cyprus.
• Visit the CDC page for the latest Travel Health Information Travel Health Information related to your travel.
• Prepare a contingency plan for emergency situations. Review the  Traveler’s Checklist .

UN Buffer Zone:  Since 1974, the southern part of Cyprus has been under the control of the government of the Republic of Cyprus. The northern part of Cyprus, administered by Turkish Cypriots, proclaimed itself the “Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus” (“TRNC”) in 1983. The United States does not recognize the “TRNC,” nor does any country other than Turkey. A buffer zone patrolled by the UN Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus, separates the two sides. For U.S. citizen travelers:

• Enter and exit the Republic of Cyprus ONLY  at Larnaca and Paphos airports and at the seaports of Limassol, Larnaca, and Paphos. The Republic of Cyprus  does not consider  entry at Ercan Airport in the north to be a “legal” entrance into Cyprus.
• You  cannot receive a residency permit  from the Republic of Cyprus to reside in the area north of the UN buffer zone.

Entry requirements

This advice reflects the UK government’s understanding of current rules for people travelling on a full ‘British citizen’ passport from the UK , for the most common types of travel.

The authorities in Cyprus set and enforce entry rules. If you’re not sure how these requirements apply to you, contact the Cyprus High Commission in the UK .

COVID-19 rules

There are no COVID-19 testing or vaccination requirements for travellers entering Cyprus.

Passport validity requirements

To travel to Cyprus, you must follow the  Schengen area passport requirements . 

To enter Cyprus your passport must: 

• have a ‘date of issue’ less than 10 years before the date you arrive. Passports issued after 1 October 2018 are now valid for only 10 years, but for passports issued before 1 October 2018, extra months may have been added if you renewed a passport early 
• have an ‘expiry date’ at least 3 months after the day you plan to leave 

Check with your travel provider that your passport and other travel documents meet requirements. Renew your passport if you need to.  

You will be denied entry if you do not have a valid travel document or try to use a passport that has been reported lost or stolen.

Visa requirements

You can travel without a visa to Cyprus for up to 90 days. This applies if you travel: 

• as a tourist 
• to visit family or friends 
• to attend business meetings, cultural or sports events 
• for short-term studies or training

To stay longer (to work or study, for business travel or for other reasons), check what you need from the Cyprus High Commission .

There is separate guidance on visas and permits to work in Cyprus .

The Republic of Cyprus authorities will count time in the north of Cyprus towards the 90-day visa-free total. For information about the north of Cyprus, see Regional risks .

Do not overstay your visa. You could be:

• questioned by immigration at the airport on exit
• put on a ‘stop list’ and refused entry for up to 5 years

Schengen area

Cyprus is not part of the Schengen area , so:

• visits to Cyprus do not count towards your 90-day visa-free limit in the Schengen area
• visits to other EU or Schengen countries do not count towards your 90-day visa-free limit in Cyprus

Check at the border

As a visitor, your passport will be stamped when you enter and exit Cyprus. Border guards will use the passport stamps to check you’re complying with the 90-day visa-free limit for short stays.

If you enter or exit the Schengen area through Cyprus as a visitor, check that your passport is stamped. This will show border guards that you are complying with the 90-day visa-free limit for Cyprus and the separate 90-day visa-free limit for the Schengen area.

If the relevant entry or exit stamp is not in your passport, border guards will presume you have overstayed your visa-free limit. If you show evidence such as transport tickets to prove when you entered or exited Cyprus, border guards should add the entry or exit date and location in your passport.

You may also need to:

• show a return or onward ticket
• prove you have enough money for your stay

If you have a Withdrawal Agreement residency document for another country, your passport might still be stamped if you are a visitor to Cyprus.

Residents should carry residency documents issued by the Republic of Cyprus when entering and exiting Cyprus.

If you are a resident, read the Living in Cyprus guide .

Applying for a visa

Find out how to apply for a visa through the Cyprus High Commission .

Travel within Cyprus

You can use any crossing point to move between the north and south of the island. The crossing point at Ledra Palace and Ledra and Lokmaci Street can only be used by pedestrians.

See a list of the crossing points from the Cyprus Ministry of Finance .

Entry into the Republic of Cyprus through the north of Cyprus

If you enter the Republic of Cyprus through the north (such as through Ercan Airport), authorities will consider you to have entered illegally. You could be:

• fined for illegal entry
• refused entry to or exit from the Republic of Cyprus
• prevented from crossing back into the north of Cyprus

Vaccination requirements (other than COVID-19)

At least 8 weeks before your trip, check the vaccinations and certificates you need in TravelHealthPro’s Cyprus guide .

Customs rules

There are strict rules about goods that can be brought into and taken out of Cyprus. You must declare anything that may be prohibited or subject to tax or duty.

Taking food into Cyrpus

You cannot take meat, milk or products containing them into EU countries . There are some exceptions such as powdered baby milk, baby food and special foods or pet feed required for medical reasons.

Customs rules within Cyprus

There are controls on quantities and types of goods that can be bought in the north of Cyprus and taken to the south of the island, including from the bicommunal village of Pyla in the buffer zone. Goods can be confiscated at the checkpoint and you could be fined. The Republic of Cyprus enforces a 40-cigarette per person limit on crossing the Green Line from the north of Cyprus.

The Mediterranean island of Cyprus has long been seen as an easy, breezy escape for UK travellers, with its short flight time, hot temperatures into spring and autumn, and array of lovely beaches.

However, it kept strict testing and proof of vaccination rules in place for much of the pandemic.

So what are the rules now, and is it still easy to book and jet off on a holiday to Cyprus?

Here is everything you need to know.

Do I need to show proof of vaccination to enter Cyprus?

No. Cyprus scrapped its requirement for travellers to provide proof of vaccination on 1 June 2022.

A spokesperson for Visit Cyprus said at the time: “[From 1 June] there are no restrictions for entry into the country. There are no restrictions on movement and travellers can enjoy all kinds of services and facilities across the destination without the need to present any health certificates.

“Enhanced health, safety and hygiene protocols have been devised for all hospitality establishments, cultural sites and entertainment venues, and extensive training of staff has taken place prior to the destination opening for visitors.”

Do I need to take a pre-travel test to visit Cyprus?

No. The requirement for unvaccinated travellers to take a test was dropped on the same date as the vaccination requirement.

Entry requirements for Cyprus are now the same for all travellers, regardless of vaccination status.

Do I have to fill in a passenger locator form for Cyprus?

No. Cyprus ended its Flight Pass health form on 18 April 2022.

What are the rules on the ground in Cyprus - do I still need to wear a mask?

In the first week of July, Cyprus reintroduced the wearing of face masks indoors , just a month after it dropped the rule.

On 6 July, health minister Michalis Hadjipantela announced the new ruling after a cabinet meeting.

At present, visitors aged 12 and over have to wear a face mask in indoor public spaces - the Cypriot tourist board specifies “taxis, buses, diving/safari jeeps, lifts, theatres, malls” - and could face a €300 fine if they don’t.

“Areas where people are seated whilst consuming food and beverage (restaurants, coffee-shops, bars, snackbars, lobby bars) are excluded from this provision,” the tourist board clarifies.

Social distancing is also in place in some venues.

What if I test positive for Covid-19 in Cyprus?

If you test positive for Covid, you must self-isolate in your accommodation for seven days - or five days if you are testing negative by the fifth day after first testing positive.

How long does my passport need to be valid for when visiting Cyprus?

The rule changes that could trip you up on a visit to Cyprus in 2022 are more likely to be Brexit-related than Covid-related. Since the UK left the European Union, there are new rules regarding length and frequency of visits to EU countries, as well as rules around passport stamps and validity.

To visit an EU country post-Brexit, your passport must be:

• issued less than 10 years before the date you enter the country (check the “date of issue”)
• valid for at least three months after the day you plan to leave (check the “expiry date”)

There is also now a time limit on how long and how often you can visit Cyprus, visa free. The Foreign Office advises: “You can travel to Cyprus for up to 90 days in any 180-day period without a visa. This applies if you travel as a tourist, to visit for family or friends, to attend business meetings, cultural or sports events, or for short-term studies or training.”

However - as Cyprus is not currently part of the EU’s Schengen Area - visits to other EU or Schengen countries do not count towards your 90-day visa-free limit in Cyprus.

You must have your passport stamped on arrival and on exit from the country. Make sure this takes place at passport control to avoid any confusion over how long you have been there.

You may also need to show a return or onward ticket to indicate when you are leaving Cyprus, and could be asked to demonstrate that you have enough money to support yourself for the duration of your stay.

Advice levels.

Exercise a high degree of caution in Cyprus.

Exercise a high degree of caution in Cyprus due to  the active UN peacekeeping operation in the country.

• A UN peacekeeping force maintains a buffer zone between northern and southern Cyprus. The Government of the Republic of Cyprus controls the southern part of the island. The self-proclaimed 'Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus' ('TRNC') controls the north.
• Violent incidents can occur in the UN buffer zone, especially during public demonstrations. Avoid protests.
• Watch out for bag snatching and pickpocketing, particularly in tourist areas.
• Cyprus experiences earth tremors and violent storms. Forest fires are common from May to October. Monitor local media for updates.

Full travel advice: Safety

• Heatwaves are becoming more frequent over the summer months. Drink plenty of water, wear light clothing, stay in air conditioning or shaded areas, and follow the advice of local authorities.
• Ensure your insurance covers travel in both the northern and southern parts of Cyprus.
• Avoid contact with rodents, bats, other vermin and 'yellow fever mosquitoes'. They carry disease. There have been cases of West Nile Virus reported in Cyprus.
• Medical facilities in the Republic of Cyprus's main cities are adequate but expensive. Medical services in the north are basic.

Full travel advice: Health

• Cypriot authorities don't always advise Australian authorities when they arrest an Australian citizen. If you're arrested, tell the Australian High Commission straight away.
• You could be a national of Cyprus if you have a family connection to Cyprus. You may have to do military service if you have a family connection to Cyprus. Check with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Republic of Cyprus). If you have a Turkish Cypriot background, check with  relevant authorities before you travel.

Full travel advice: Local laws

• Entry and exit conditions can change at short notice. Contact the nearest high commission, embassy or consulate of Cyprus for the latest details.
• Additional security measures are in place at Larnaca and Pafos airports. You should arrive at your terminal at least 3 hours   before your flight's departure time.
• If you're crossing into and returning from the north of Cyprus (the area not controlled by the government of Cyprus), avoid the Pergamos and Stovilia crossing points, as non-EU citizens are barred from travelling through those crossing points as they're part of the United Kingdom's Sovereign Territory. There's no signage announcing this restriction, and you'll be turned away.

Full advice

Civil unrest and political tension.

UN Buffer Zone

The Government of the Republic of Cyprus is the only internationally recognised authority in Cyprus. However, in practice, it only controls the southern part of the island.

The self-proclaimed 'Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus' ('TRNC') controls the northern part of Cyprus. Turkiye is the only country that recognises the 'TRNC'. There's also a Turkish military presence in the north.

A United Nations peacekeeping force (UNFICYP) controls a buffer zone between northern and southern Cyprus.

Be aware of the political sensitivity of the division of the island. Monitor local news for updates.

Violent incidents

Some violent incidents have occurred along the UN Buffer Zone (also known as 'The Green Line'). Rowdy, politically motivated behaviour has occurred among fans at local sporting matches.

Public protests and events that draw large groups of people can turn violent, particularly around the UN Buffer Zone.

Frequent violence also occurs at sporting events.

To stay safe:

• take care if speaking about the division of Cyprus in public
• avoid protests and demonstrations
• monitor the media and other sources for possible unrest
• avoid affected areas
• don't take photos in military areas (see  Local laws )
• follow the advice of local authorities

More information:

• Demonstrations and civil unrest

Petty crime

Bag-snatching, pickpocketing and petty theft happen, particularly in urban and tourist areas.

To reduce your risk of petty crime:

• look after your belongings, particularly in crowded areas
• hold bags and backpacks in front of you

Violent crime

Serious violence, including physical  assault , occurs. Media reports have linked the violence to organised crime. Be aware of your surroundings and take normal precautions.

Drink spiking

Drink spiking is a risk, especially in tourist areas. It puts you at a higher risk of theft and  sexual assault . Take reasonable steps to protect yourself. 

To reduce your risk of drink spiking:

• never accept food or drinks from strangers
• don't leave food or drinks unattended
• Partying safely

Theft around ATMs

Be careful when you use ATMs. If possible:

• use ATMs in banks, shops and shopping centres
• avoid ATMs that open onto the street, especially at night

To protect yourself from  scams : 

• check prices before ordering food and drinks, especially at bars and cabarets
• check that the taxi-meter is on when travelling in a taxi
• be aware of counterfeit products
• check the  Cyprus police website  for the latest on common scams

Cyber security 

You may be at risk of cyber-based threats during overseas travel to any country. Digital identity theft is a growing concern. Your devices and personal data can be compromised, especially if you're connecting to Wi-Fi, using or connecting to shared or public computers, or to Bluetooth. 

Social media can also be risky in destinations where there are social or political tensions or laws that may seem unreasonable by Australian standards. Travellers have been arrested for things they have said on social media. Don't comment on local or political events on your social media. 

More information:  

• Cyber security when travelling overseas  

While there have been no recent terrorist attacks in Cyprus, they can still happen.

Terrorism occurs in Europe. Terrorist attacks have taken place in several European cities.

Targets have included public transport and transport hubs, and public places frequented by foreigners.

European security services have disrupted a number of planned attacks in recent years.

To protect yourself from terrorism:

• be alert to possible threats, especially in public places
• be careful around places terrorists tend to target
• monitor local media for new threats
• take official warnings seriously

Report suspicious activity or items to the police.

If there's an attack, leave the area as soon as it's safe. Avoid the affected area in case there are secondary attacks.

Terrorism is a threat worldwide.

Swimming safety

Strong seas and rips at some beaches pose a risk to swimmers. To stay safe:

• follow warning signs on beaches
• only swim at approved beaches

Adventure activities

Transport and tour operators don't always follow safety and maintenance standards, including for:

• adventure activities
• water sports and diving
• renting vehicles, such as quad bikes or dune buggies

If you plan to do an  adventure activity :

• check if your travel insurance policy covers it
• use licensed and insured operators
• ask about and insist on minimum safety requirements
• always use available safety gear, such as life jackets or seatbelts

If proper safety equipment isn't available, use another provider.

Some operators may ask for your passport as a deposit or guarantee for equipment hire.  Passports  are valuable documents. Never give your passport as a deposit or guarantee.

Climate and natural disasters

Cyprus experiences natural disasters and  severe weather , including:

• earthquakes
• violent wind storms
• forest fires

To protect yourself if there's a natural disaster or severe weather:

• secure your passport in a safe, waterproof location
• keep in touch with friends and family
• monitor the media, other local sources and the Global Disaster Alert and Coordination System

Earthquakes

Cyprus experiences earthquakes. While large earthquakes are rare, minor earth tremors can happen.

Violent storms

Cyprus can experience violent storms and high winds in coastal regions.

Winter snowstorms occur in the Troodos Mountains. These storms can block roads or create poor driving conditions.

Forest fires

Cyprus has forest and grass fires during the long dry season from May until October. Fires are most common in heavily forested and mountainous regions  and can start with little warning and travel quickly. 

• Travel insurance

Get comprehensive travel insurance before you leave. 

Your policy needs to cover all overseas medical costs, including medical evacuation. The Australian Government won't pay for these costs.

If you can't afford travel insurance, you can't afford to travel. This applies to everyone, no matter how healthy and fit you are.

If you're not insured, you may have to pay many thousands of dollars up-front for medical care.

• what activities and care your policy covers
• that your insurance covers you for the whole time you'll be away
• that it covers travel to both northern and southern parts of Cyprus

Physical and mental health

Consider your physical and mental health before you travel, especially if you have an existing medical condition. 

See your doctor or travel clinic to:

• have a basic health check-up
• ask if your travel plans may affect your health
• plan any vaccinations you need

Do this at least 8 weeks before you leave.

If you have immediate concerns for your welfare or the welfare of another Australian, call the 24-hour Consular Emergency Centre on +61 2 6261 3305 or contact your  nearest Australian Embassy, High Commission or Consulate  to discuss counselling hotlines and services available in your location.

• General health advice
• Healthy holiday tips  (Healthdirect Australia)

Medications

Not all medication available over the counter or by prescription in Australia is available in other countries. Some may even be considered illegal or a controlled substance, even if prescribed by an Australian doctor.

If you plan to bring medication, check if it's legal in Cyprus. Take enough legal medication for your trip.

Carry a copy of your prescription and a letter from your doctor stating:

• what the medication is
• your required dosage
• that it's for personal use

Health risks

Rodents, bats, other vermin and 'yellow fever mosquitoes' can carry diseases that people can catch. Avoid contact with such animals in the countryside or at archaeological sites.

Outbreaks of water-borne, food-borne, insect-borne and other infectious diseases are common in the eastern Mediterranean region and can occasionally occur in Cyprus.

There have been reports of West Nile Virus cases in south and north Cyprus. There's no vaccine to prevent it.

To protect yourself from disease:

• make sure your accommodation is insect-proof
• use insect repellent
• wear long, loose, light-coloured clothing

Extreme Heat

Heatwaves are becoming more frequent over the summer months. They can cause heat stroke and exhaustion. Drink plenty of water, wear a hat, wear suitable light clothing, and, if possible, stay indoors during the heat of the day. There's limited shade in and around tourist areas. 

Air Pollution

Air quality in Cyprus is variable due to frequent winds carrying dust from North Africa and the Middle East and the use of dirty fuel in electricity production. The air quality further deteriorates during periods of forest fire. If you typically rely on medication to assist with breathing, bring it with you, and ensure you have enough for your visit.

Follow local media and authorities for up-to-date information on health risks.

More Information:

• Cyprus government

Medical care

Medical facilities.

Public and private facilities in the Republic of Cyprus's main cities are adequate but can be costly.

Medical services in northern Cyprus are more basic than in the south.

Cyprus has public and private decompression chambers. Check the Cyprus Dive Center Association  for details.

If you become seriously ill or injured, you may be evacuated to a place with better facilities. Medical evacuation can be very expensive.

You're subject to local laws and penalties, including those that appear harsh by Australian standards. Research local laws before travelling, especially for an extended stay.

If you're arrested or jailed, the Australian Government will do what it can to help you under our  Consular Services Charter . But we can't get you out of trouble or out of jail.

Cypriot authorities don't always tell the Australian High Commission they have arrested an Australian citizen. This is especially the case if you're a dual national.

If police arrest or detain you, ask them or your family and friends to notify the Australian High Commission immediately.

Penalties for drug offences are severe and can lead to life in jail. Carrying even small amounts of an illegal drug can result in jail time.

• Carrying or using drugs

Buying property

Buying property in the north of Cyprus can be risky. Legal titles to land can be uncertain.

When the conflict of 1974 displaced people in the north, many had property ownership claims. 

It's a crime to buy, sell or rent property without the owner's consent.

Get legal advice before signing a property contract.

It's also a crime to intend to purchase disputed property. Officials may consider your possession of property pamphlets from the north as evidence of intent to purchase.

You could face criminal proceedings if you cross the Green Line with documents about buying property in northern Cyprus.

There are laws relating to the use of drones in Cyprus relating to what type of drone can be flown without a licence and where and when they can be flown. 

More information: 

• Regulations for Drones (Cyprus Department of Civil Aviation) 

It's illegal in both parts of Cyprus to:

• take photos of military camps, facilities, personnel or equipment, even by accident
• take photos in the UN buffer zone
• take photos in any military-designated area
• enter a restricted military zone
• export cultural or archaeological artefacts without official authorisation

Marriage laws

If you plan to  get married  in Cyprus, check the legal requirements before travelling.

• High Commission of the Republic of Cyprus in Canberra
• Australian High Commission in Cyprus

Australian laws

Some Australian criminal laws still apply when you're overseas. If you break these laws, you may face prosecution in Australia.

Staying within the law and respecting customs

Dual citizenship

Under local laws, you could be a national of Cyprus if you have a family connection to Cyprus.

National service

Dual Australian-Cypriot nationals may have to do national service. This may apply if you're:

• aged 15 to 50 years
• staying  longer than 3 months

Female dual nationals may have civil defence obligations. This may apply if you're:

• aged 18 to 50 years
• a permanent resident of Cyprus

If you're a male dual national aged 16 to 26 years, you need an exit permit to leave Cyprus. You can get a permit from either the:

• High Commission of the Republic of Cyprus in Australia
• Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Cyprus

If you are or could be a national of Cyprus, check about national service before you travel. Ask the Cypriot  Ministry of Foreign Affairs .

National service in the north

If you're in northern Cyprus, you might have to do military service if you:

• have a Turkish-Cypriot background
• are older than 18 years
• stay longer than 3 months in northern Cyprus

Check with the relevant authorities (Cypriot Turkish) before you travel.

Length of national service

Officials may reduce the length of your national service if you show evidence of long-term residency in Australia.

Get a copy of your movements in and out of Australia as evidence of residency. Make a 'Request for International Movement Records' to the Department of Home Affairs .

You'll need this documentation if you:

• are or could be a dual national
• haven't completed national service
• intend to stay longer than 3 months

Dual nationals

Visas and border measures

Every country or territory decides who can enter or leave through its borders. For specific information about the evidence you'll need to enter a foreign destination, check with the nearest embassy, consulate or immigration department of the destination you're entering. 

Visa conditions

You don't need a tourist visa to visit Cyprus for stays of up to 90 days in a 6-month period.

If you plan to stay longer, you must apply for a visa. Applications can be made in-country.

If you overstay your visa, officials may charge you with breaching immigration rules.

Entry and exit conditions can change at short notice. Contact the nearest  embassy or consulate  for details about visas, currency, customs and quarantine rules.

• Ministry of Foreign Affairs  (Cyprus)
• Ministry of Interior  (Cyprus)

Arrivals by sea must meet the same requirements as air arrivals (see above).

Travelling to or from the north through crossing checkpoints

Travel is permitted between the south and north of Cyprus. Refer to  local authorities  for the latest advice

Immigration officials might refuse entry into Cyprus if they have concerns about previous or planned travel to the north. This includes accommodation in the north or planned activities, such as commercial, academic or employment activities.

Entry to Cyprus is only legal through the following:

• the airports of Larnaca and Paphos
• the seaports of Larnaca, Limassol, Latsi and Paphos

It's illegal to enter or exit Cyprus via any air or sea port in northern Cyprus. 

Illegal entry ports include:

• Tymbou ('Ercan') and Lefkoniko ('Gecitkale') airports
• the seaports of Kyrenia (Girne) and Famagusta (Gazi Magusa)

Only enter the UN Buffer Zone at formal crossing points. Police and UN forces strictly enforce this.

Departure from Cyprus

There are additional security measures in place at Larnaca and Pafos airports. You should arrive at your terminal at least 3 hours   before your flight's departure time.

Some countries won’t let you enter unless your passport is valid for 6 months after you plan to leave that country. This can apply even if you’re just transiting or stopping over.

Some foreign governments and airlines apply the rule inconsistently. Travellers can receive conflicting advice from different sources.

You can end up stranded if your passport is not valid for more than 6 months

The Australian Government does not set these rules. Check your passport’s expiry date before you travel. If you’re not sure it’ll be valid for long enough, consider getting a new passport .

Lost or stolen passport

Your passport is a valuable document. It's attractive to people who may try to use your identity to commit crimes.

Some people may try to trick you into giving them your passport. Always keep it in a safe place.

If your passport is lost or stolen, tell the Australian Government as soon as possible:

• In Australia, contact the Australian Passport Information Service .
• If you're overseas, contact the nearest Australian embassy or consulate .

Passport with ‘X’ gender identifier 

Although Australian passports comply with international standards for sex and gender, we can’t guarantee that a passport showing 'X' in the sex field will be accepted for entry or transit by another country. Contact the nearest  embassy, high commission or consulate of your destination  before you arrive at the border to confirm if authorities will accept passports with 'X' gender markers. 

LGBTI travellers  

The official currency of the Republic of Cyprus is the euro.

The principal currency in the north is the Turkish lira, although you can use euros in many businesses.

The Republic of Cyprus, in the south, doesn't accept the Turkish lira.

Declare amounts over 10,000 euros or equivalent if you're travelling between Cyprus and any non-European Union (EU) country. This covers all forms of currency, not only cash.

You don't need to declare it if you're travelling to or from another EU country.

Officials will fine you if you don't declare it or declare the wrong amount when entering or leaving Cyprus.

ATMs are widely available in tourist locations. You can use major credit cards in most places.

Local travel

Local restrictions

Stay up-to-date with the latest COVID-19 measures and restrictions by visiting the  Cyprus Government website  and the  Cyprus Tourism site . 

For questions about the protocols and guidelines, email  [email protected]

The  Australian International COVID-19 Vaccination Certificate (ICVC)   is accepted in printed format, along with a photo ID. Australians who are dual nationals or those with Cypriot residency status may convert their Australian certificate into a Cyprus Safe Pass. More information is available in  Issuance of the EU Digital COVID Certificate  [PDF 13KB].

Some businesses and venues may request the use of ace masks as a condition of entry.

• Travel Safely to Cyprus
• official government announcements relating to COVID-19 . 

Travel in the north

Turkish-Cypriot authorities in the north issue residence permits, identity cards and other documents. The Republic of Cyprus and other countries may not recognise these documents.

Use your Australian passport for all travel into or out of Cyprus and Turkiye.

Turkiye does not accept 'Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus' ID cards as entry or travel documents.

Travelling to or from the north

You can cross into the north if you arrive through legal ports of entry in the south.

If you're travelling from the south to the north of Cyprus (into the areas not controlled by the Government of the Republic of Cyprus), you should avoid the Pergamos (aka Pyla, Beyarmudu and Dheklyia) and Strovilia (aka Akyar) Crossing Points, as they're part of the United Kingdom's Sovereign Base Areas, and have different entry and exit conditions on who can use their crossing points under international law.

Non-EU nationals (including Australians) aren't permitted to cross from the north to the south at these crossing points, even if you hold a valid visa for the Republic of Cyprus.

Use a different crossing point, such as Dherynia (aka Famagusta and Gazimugusa), to avoid any issues.

You'll need to show your passport to officials when entering and leaving the north – your passport will be recorded at both checkpoints. 

You can take private vehicles or hire cars through checkpoints from the south to the north. However, you can't take cars that have been hired in the north through the checkpoints into the south. No cars can cross at the Ledra Street and Ledra Palace crossings.

You must be able to show your current car insurance when crossing north or south. Check your car insurance to ensure you have coverage for the area you want to drive through. Car hire companies offer insurance but be aware that their insurance may only cover you in the north or the south. There are usually insurance companies close to the crossing points, able to sell you a short-term policy.

If you plan to travel to other regional destinations, read the travel advice for these countries. Some countries may refuse entry if your passport or luggage contains evidence you entered Cyprus through any air or sea port in the non-government-controlled north.

Staying in the north

The Republic of Cyprus authorities have deemed some accommodations in the north illegal. The Republic of Cyprus has warned visitors about staying in this accommodation, and it may put you at risk of legal action on the part of the owners.

• Cypriot Government memorandum 

Carrying goods between the north and south

You may need to present your goods for inspection when you cross between the north and south.

Strict controls apply to items bought in the north, including:

• imitation or pirated brand-name products

Republic of Cyprus police or customs authorities may confiscate these items. They may also fine you.

Customs officials in the north enforce a limit on the purchase of goods in the south.

Both sides enforce quarantine rules on food.

• Cyprus Ministry of Finance  (Customs & Excise Department)

Driving permit

You can only use your Australian driver's licence for 6 months from your date of arrival. 

You'll need to obtain a local driving licence to continue to drive after 6 months. To get a local licence, refer to the  Road Transport Department .

The minimum age for driving is 18 years.

Road travel

Road accidents are a major risk.

Most roads are of a good standard, but some secondary and mountain roads are poorly maintained.

Driving practices can be poor. Drivers often:

• ignore international driving norms
• use mobile phones while driving
• disobey traffic signals
• fail to use indicators
• ignore speed limits

Be careful crossing roads, as traffic may not follow signals.

Be aware of quad bikes on roads. 

The UN and military restricts access to roads in the UN Buffer Zone. Parts of this zone have landmines.

If you plan to drive:

• only hire cars from reputable companies
• make sure you've got the right licence for the vehicle you plan to drive
• check your insurance covers you in the north and the south
• Driving or riding

Motorcycles

Check with your insurer if your policy covers you using a motorbike, quad bike, dune buggy or similar vehicle.

Many serious injuries and deaths from quad-bike accidents happen each year, particularly in tourist areas. Follow directions on where you can and can't ride quad bikes or similar vehicles.

Always wear a helmet.

Use only authorised taxi and limousine services. Arrange them through your hotel, if possible, or through apps such as Bolt.

Unofficial taxis may overcharge.

Public transport

Bus and coach services operate throughout Cyprus.

Theft can occur on public transport. Take care of your belongings.

• Transport and getting around safely

Before taking a ferry or other boat, make sure it has the right safety gear. Many international cruise lines stopover in Cyprus.

• Going on a cruise
• Travelling by boat

DFAT doesn't provide information on the safety of individual commercial airlines or flight paths.

Check  Cyprus' air safety profile  with the Aviation Safety Network.

Emergencies

Depending on what you need, contact your:

• family and friends
• travel agent
• insurance provider

Always get a police report when you report a crime.

Your insurer should have a 24-hour emergency number.

Emergency operators may not speak English.

Consular contacts

Read the Consular Services Charter for what the Australian Government can and can't do to help you overseas.
