Cyprus

Entry requirements for vaccinated travellers

Travellers who have received all of required doses of their respective vaccine are not required to take a PCR test before departure or on arrival. You will still need to obtain a Cyprus flight pass. You should check the Cyprus Flight Pass website for information on which vaccinations are acceptable and the length of time which should have elapsed between your final dose and date of travel. (See ‘Demonstrating your COVID-19 status’)

Entry requirements for unvaccinated travellers

Passengers coming from Red Category countries who have not completed their COVID-19 vaccination programmes must undergo a PCR test within 72 hours prior to departure and provide proof of a negative result. You must then undergo another PCR test upon arrival at Larnaca or Paphos airports. Test results should be available within three hours through the online platform. The cost of both tests is borne by the passenger.

Results from the PCR test taken before travel can be in the form of an email or SMS, but the result itself and/or appointment letter must include the date and time when the test was taken. You should not use the NHS testing service to get a test in order to facilitate your travel to another country. You should arrange to take a private test.

Entry requirements for children

Children who arrive in Cyprus before their 12th birthday, are exempted from the testing requirement. Children aged 12 and over who have not completed a full vaccination programme need to follow the guidance for unvaccinated adults.
