Entry stamp form for Northern Cyprus — how to avoid a passport stamp
Although the passport stamp does not cause any problems, if you still prefer not to have it, it is important to be attentive when going through passport control at the North Cyprus airport. Carelessness may result in the entry stamp being placed directly in your passport.
How to properly get a stamp form
Do not hand your passport to the officer without a stamp form! Usually, the forms are located next to the passport control officer — on your side. If they are not visible, be sure to request them before handing over your passport. Otherwise, the officer may place the stamp directly in your passport.
If for some reason the forms are not available, you can ask to have the stamp placed on your boarding pass — this is allowed.
Can you prepare the form in advance
Yes, you can! Experienced travelers recommend printing a blank form in advance — before your flight to North Cyprus. When passing through control, you simply present it to the officer, saving time and avoiding confusion.
Examples of forms
Here is what the standard entry stamp forms look like:
Tip: it is better to have a couple of printed copies with you to avoid awkward situations upon arrival, especially during peak hours or weekends, when blank forms may not be available at the counters.
