Furthermore, third-country nationals (non-EU) who hold a valid Category D visa or residence permit from any European Union member state (except the UK and Ireland) or a Schengen country may enter Cyprus without an additional visa, provided they meet the following conditions:
The duration of stay may not exceed 90 days within any 180-day period.
An exception to this rule applies to citizens of the Republic of Turkey and the Republic of Azerbaijan, who must obtain a national Cyprus visa to enter the country.
Applicants shall prove that they are in possession of adequate and valid travel medical insurance to cover any expenses which might arise in connection with repatriation for medical reasons, urgent medical attention and/or emergency hospital treatment or death. The insurance shall be valid in Cyprus and cover the entire period of the person’s intended stay or transit. The minimum coverage shall be EUR 30 000. Applicants are requested not to submit Travel Medical Insurance from companies that are under the EU sanctions regime.
