Apply with this visa

The Republic of Cyprus is a member of the European Union but has not yet fully joined the Schengen area. That means a separate national visa is required to enter the country.

The main difficulty is that Cyprus has no embassy in Baku, and consular services for Azerbaijan are handled through a mission abroad. The route of the application and the way documents are sent therefore need to be settled in advance.

There is one important exception: under certain conditions, holders of a valid multiple-entry Schengen or other EU visa can enter Cyprus without obtaining a separate visa. This rule changes often, so check it before you travel. Viza.az looks at the visas you already hold and works out the shortest path.

Yes. The Republic of Cyprus is a member of the European Union but has not yet fully joined the Schengen area — so a separate national visa is required.

Under certain conditions, yes. Holders of a valid multiple-entry Schengen visa, or of another European Union country’s visa, can enter Cyprus without obtaining a separate visa. This rule changes from time to time, so it should be checked before you travel.

No. Consular services for Azerbaijan are handled through a mission abroad, so the route of the application has to be established in advance.

There is no online application option on an Azerbaijani passport. The documents are submitted through the consular route.

Processing usually takes ten to twenty working days. Sending the documents to the mission abroad adds extra time to that period.

No. Entry to the northern part is governed by separate rules and has nothing to do with the Republic of Cyprus visa. The two destinations follow entirely different procedures.
