Worth knowing

The details for an Australian passport.

Visa-exempt under the EU common visa list (Reg. 2018/1806, Annex II, consolidated 30 Dec 2025), which Cyprus applies; stays up to 90 days in any 180. Cyprus is in the EU but not yet in Schengen: Cyprus days do not count toward the Schengen 90/180 limit and vice versa. EES does not operate in Cyprus. Passport must be issued within the last 10 years and valid 3 months after departure. Enter only through the Republic's legal points of entry (Larnaca or Paphos airports; Larnaca, Limassol, Latsi or Paphos ports): arriving via the north (e.g. Ercan) counts as illegal entry. Time spent in the north counts toward the 90 days.

Your passport

How long it must be valid.

Third-country nationals: passport issued within the last 10 years (older passports renewed before 1 Oct 2018 may be accepted) and valid at least 3 months after your planned departure from Cyprus. Passports reported lost or stolen are refused.
