The Ministry of the Interior announced that only those coming from countries not falling under categories A and B, according to the classification of the Ministry of Health, are required to obtain a special permit to enter the Republic of Cyprus.

According to information published by the Press and Information Division (PIO), a special entry permit is required for entry into the Republic of Cyprus:

– First-degree relatives of persons legally residing in the Republic and/or conducting economic activities in the country (husband, children, parents) for the purpose of family reunification.

– Persons, irrespective of their nationality, whose arrival in the Republic is necessary for the implementation of state projects or other important professional duties.

Requests for special permission to enter the Republic are submitted online through the platform www.CyprusFlightPass.gov.cy.
If permission has been obtained, a password will be sent to the applicant’s e-mail, which must be used when applying for the CyprusFlightPass. This password is required for all passengers.

As there are a lot of applications, the Ministry encourages you to take care of the permit in advance. And only after receiving it do you have to book your flight tickets.
