Staying with a Cyprus tourist visa

It all depends on how long your visa is issued for. A single-entry visa is issued for the dates of your trip, while a multiple-entry visa is valid for up to three years. However, the length of stay in any case does not exceed 90 days within six months.

Staying in Cyprus with a Schengen visa

The same requirements apply — 90 days within six months. The Schengen visa must be activated in the country that issued it, but in practice, border control has been allowing entry with a “non-activated” Schengen visa lately.

Staying in Cyprus with EU visas

As with the national visa of Cyprus and the Schengen visa, the stay is limited to 90 days within six months.
