Immigration and Visas
It is important to note that the Republic of Cyprus and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus have different immigration regulations.
The Republic of Cyprus is now a member of the EU and under community laws EU nationals have the right to enter the country with an identity card or valid passport and to seek work there. For non-EU nationals, employment permits have to be obtained before entering Cyprus. The nationals of many non-EU countries do not require a visa to enter the Republic of Cyprus for a stay not exceeding three months.
The TRNC is not a member of the EU, and although EU nationals do not require visas to enter North Cyprus as visitors, all foreign nationals are required to obtain a work permit before entering the country for the purpose of employment.
For full details of visa requirements for both the Republic of Cyprus and the TRNC see the relevant government websites. Visas for the TRNC can be obtained from Turkish embassies.
