Visa required · Cyprus national visa required for an ordinary passport; maximum 90 days in any 180-day period, subject to documented Schengen-permission exemptions · A mainland Chinese national holding an ordinary passport requires a Republic of Cyprus visa before tourism travel. The bilateral exemption for Chinese diplomatic and service passports does not apply to an ordinary passport. A Cypriot short-stay visa permits at most 90 days in any 180-day period and currently authorises Cyprus rather than the wider Schengen area. A valid double- or multiple-entry Schengen visa, qualifying national visa or Schengen residence permit may remove the need for a separate Cyprus short-stay visa under the published conditions, but the traveller must still use a recognised port and satisfy border control.
