TEMPORARY RESIDENCE
Entry Permits into the Island come in many forms, one of which is a Visitors Visa and/or Tourist Visa. Typically under a Temporary Entry Permit the person applying can remain on the Island for a maximum period of 3 months.
Temporary Visas are normally issued at the Airport in which case the procedure is straight forward because the Immigration Officer handling your application will simply update the System and stamp your passport with a Visa Stamp. There are situations where the person arriving will be arriving from a country that requires a pre-approval before arriving in which case it is advised that the application for Entry Permit should be completed before the flight to Cyprus.
