Hold a valid multiple-entry Schengen visa? You can enter Cyprus without a Cyprus visa — Cyprus unilaterally recognises Schengen visas even though it is not yet a Schengen member (as of July 2026).
Cyprus is an EU member but NOT in the Schengen Area yet — this is a national visa, and time spent in Cyprus does not count against your Schengen 90/180 allowance.
Applications from the 14 non-Delhi VFS centres are forwarded to the High Commission in New Delhi on the third working day — budget extra time if applying outside Delhi.
Visa fees and VFS service charges are non-refundable if the application is refused or withdrawn during processing.
Children 6-11 years pay a reduced €45 fee.
