Travelling to Cyprus from the UK
British passport holders can visit Cyprus without a visa for up to 90 days.
Cyprus is a popular destination for holidays, property visits, business and longer stays in the sun. Because the Republic of Cyprus is an EU member but not part of the Schengen area, it runs its own national visa system — so the rules differ both from the Schengen countries and from country to country depending on your nationality.
Our UK-based team helps you confirm whether you need a visa at all, and where you do, prepares a complete and consistent application for the relevant route.
Routes we support
- Short visits (tourism, family and business). Whether you need a national visa for a short stay depends on your nationality. Where one is required, we help you apply through the Cypriot consulate and assemble the supporting documents.
- Long-stay (national) visas. For stays beyond the short-visit limit — for work, study, family or retirement — a national visa is generally arranged before you travel.
- Residence permits. Many longer stays also require a residence permit obtained after arrival in Cyprus. We explain how this fits with your visa and what to plan for.
Entry rules can change, so always confirm the current position for your situation on the official GOV.UK Cyprus entry requirements (opens in new tab) before you book.
What we help with
- Confirming whether a visa is needed for your nationality and trip
- Preparing the national visa application and consulate paperwork
- A pre-submission review of your evidence pack for completeness
- Booking any appointment required at the relevant consulate or visa centre
- Drafting a clear cover letter to accompany your application
What to prepare
- A passport valid well beyond your intended stay
- Proof of your travel purpose (bookings, invitation, enrolment or employment details)
- Evidence of accommodation and sufficient funds for your stay
- Travel or health insurance where required
Requirements vary by route and can change, so we will give you a precise list once we understand your plans. Eligibility and document rules are set by the Cypriot authorities, and the decision rests with them — our job is to make sure your application is well prepared.
When you are ready, contact us with your nationality, travel dates and the reason for your visit, and we will confirm the right route and start your application.
