Passports and Visas for visiting Cyprus

All foreign country passports are recognized at the entrance checkpoints of Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. Greek Cypriots, Greeks from Greece and citizens of Armenia should have visa. Visa applications can be done to T.R.N.C. foreign representatives for the Nations that mentioned above. If any citizen of a country that mentioned above is married to a TRNC citizen, the need of a visa is evaluated in a different manner and could be more elastic. But this special condition is determined after the application to the foreign representation of TRNC. On the other hand, it is possible for the people from different nations (except the ones mentioned above) who enter Turkey, to enter TRNC freely as a tourist or with a tourist group. The same procedure is carried out to passengers who travel separately. Separate passengers have to have enough amount of cash, returning ticket and reservation to a TRNC Hotel (proving that the purpose of travel is tourism) Under these circumstances it is impossible to have a problem during the entrance of TRNC. When entering TRNC the period of the visa given is determined by the immigration police officer. After entering TRNC and if you have valid justifications you can apply to prolong for visa to ministry of interior.
