Visa & Residency

North Cyprus offers a welcoming visa system and an easy route to residency, especially appealing to those looking to invest in property or relocate. Here’s a detailed overview of the visa system, residency requirements, and why it’s an attractive option for many:

Welcoming You With Open Arms

North Cyprus has an open-door policy, offering a straightforward visitor visa upon arrival for tourists and potential property investors from almost all countries. This approach reflects the welcoming nature of the Turkish Cypriot culture and the international atmosphere of the TRNC. For UK residents, British passport holders typically don’t need an advance visa and will usually receive an instant 30-day visitor/tourist visa at entry points like Ercan Airport or the border if arriving via Larnaca in South Cyprus​​.

RESIDENT STATUS FOR INVESTORS

For non-British passport holders from the EU, Australia, Canada, Iceland, Israel, Japan, Norway, New Zealand, Switzerland, and the USA, among others, an advance visa is generally not required to visit North Cyprus. However, those from countries like Armenia, Syria, Nigeria, India, and Pakistan may need to consult the TRNC Representative or the Turkish Embassy prior to departure​​.

Residency in North Cyprus:

Applying for residency is surprisingly easy, especially for property owners. With a contract of sale or title deed, you can extend your visa and eventually apply for residency. This process is particularly appealing to those considering North Cyprus for a second home or permanent relocation due to its simplicity and the welcoming attitude towards foreigners. Opus Ventures assists in making this process even more seamless, providing advice and support as you transition to your new life in North Cyprus​​.
