The visa policy of Northern Cyprus deals with the requirements that a foreign national wishing to enter Northern Cyprus must meet to be permitted to travel to, enter and remain in the country.
Visa exemption (Free visa on arrival)
Citizens of all countries (except Armenia, Nigeria and Syria) may obtain a free visa on arrival by the Immigration Officer at the designated ports and border crossings for a maximum stay of 90 days within any 180-day period.[1]
All foreign citizens who wish to stay in Northern Cyprus for more than 90 days, are required to obtain a residence permit. Foreign citizens who exceed the period of stay without a residence permit will be issued a visa penalty fine (100.23 Turkish lira for each day) that has to be paid on a future re-entry.
