Changes to Entry Regulations to Turkey for Citizens of the Republic of Cyprus
December 27, 2025
Starting January 2, 2026, entry regulations to Turkey will change for citizens of the Republic of Cyprus. The visa stickers will no longer be valid at entry points, and travelers must obtain their visas electronically or through Turkish diplomatic missions. Citizens of the 'TRNC' will not be affected by these changes and will continue to enter Turkey without a visa. These reforms specifically impact citizens of the Republic of Cyprus, not residents of the self-declared state. Such changes might cause concern for many Cypriot travelers.
