Passport rules for Cyprus

Cyprus is in the EU but not Schengen — yet it applies the same 10-year and 3-month passport rules.

FCDO entry requirements for British citizens

  • Your passport must have been issued less than 10 years before the day you enter Cyprus.
  • It must be valid for at least 3 months after the day you plan to leave.
  • Stays are limited to 90 days in any 180-day period across the Schengen area.
  • From October 2025 the EU Entry/Exit System (EES) records fingerprints and a photo at the border.

Visa / entry: No visa needed for tourist stays up to 90 days in 180.
