The Western Union database includes Northern Cyprus, but workers of not all the departments are ready to look for this country. When you ask to write down Cyprus, all Western systems often display the Republic of Cyprus, and your money may go to the southern part of the island. To avoid this, one should demand that the Western Union employees find Northern Cyprus in the database or choose Turkey first, and in the Turkey subsection, find Northern Cyprus.
And there is one more peculiarity here. In Northern Cyprus, you will not be able to receive money just at a kiosk or Western cash point like in many European countries. In NC, only a bank gives out Western Union transfer money, and before receiving it, you have to pre-register on the bank's website, choosing the time. That is to receive an appointment.
