Cyprus Visitor Visa
Cyprus Tourist Visa — fast Pro-Visa system for Indian travellers.
About the Cyprus Visitor Visa
Cyprus is an EU member but not yet part of the Schengen Area. Indian passport holders need a Cyprus visa, issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Cyprus operates a streamlined Pro-Visa (electronic visa) system for Indian tourists — applications are submitted by the Cypriot host (hotel/agency) to the Civil Registry & Migration Department, with quick turnaround.
The standard short-stay visa allows up to 90 days for tourism, family visit or business.
