Indian citizens need a Cyprus short-stay visa for a holiday, unless they already hold a valid multiple-entry Schengen visa, which Cyprus accepts for entry. Applications are lodged at VFS Global centres in India and decided by the High Commission of Cyprus in New Delhi. The checklist asks for a two-way flight itinerary, proof of accommodation and medical insurance.
Where to apply: Submit the application at a VFS Global Cyprus visa application centre in India. The High Commission of the Republic of Cyprus in New Delhi decides it.
