Important Notes:

  • If your passport has a stamp from the TRNC, your visa request will be directly rejected. Don't apply in vain.
  • Only single entry is allowed with visa on arrival, and you can stay a maximum of 6 nights and 7 days on the same island.
  • There is no right to transfer to another island. You can only go back and forth to one island.
  • Everyone over 18 pays a duty fee of 60 euros and a service fee of 20 euros.
  • Also, don't forget to add the ferry fee depending on the island you are going to.
  • You will proceed with the boat companies for visa on arrival documents. It's not possible to receive your documents and go to the islands on the same day. Your documents must be sent in advance. Considering the intensity, I recommend starting the procedures at least 2 weeks in advance.
