Cyprus Reopening – LATEST UPDATES

July 6 – Cyprus to remove entry restrictions for 5 more countries from July 6

Citizens of Belgium, Denmark, Monaco, Vatican City, and Jordan will be permitted to enter Cyprus restriction-free.

Effective July 6, the government excluded these countries from the list of territories considered heavily impacted by the spread of COVID-19. The move means that these visitors no longer need to get tested on arrival or quarantine.

On the other hand, Cyprus has moved the U.K. to its red list. Britons can still visit the country without having to quarantine but they must get retested upon arrival at their own expense. This new restriction will apply from July 8.

June 2 – American tourists can finally visit Cyprus without mandatory self-isolation, at least, for the first days of June.

Americans have finally made it to Cyprus’ “Orange list.” This means that based on epidemiological data visitors from the U.S. will not need to undergo mandatory self-isolation, at least, for the first days of June.

Cyprus closely monitors the COVID-19 situation in every single one of the 61 countries it allows entry. So, for now, Americans can enter without quarantine. This benefit may or may not change in a couple of weeks.

Before boarding a flight, all travelers must provide their personal details to the Republic of Cyprus so they can obtain a “Flight Pass”. Also, Americans must bring a negative COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours before arrival as the other visitors.
