Cyprus is outside Schengen, so there are document checks on arrival from other EU countries. Use only the Republic's legal points of entry (Larnaca or Paphos airports; Larnaca, Limassol, Latsi or Paphos ports).
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.
