Visiting North Cyprus

Do I need a visa to visit North Cyprus?

If you are a male with Cypriot heritage, it is wise to check before you visit North Cyprus as you may be required to complete your National Service. If you do not have a UK passport, then you need to contact the TRNC Embassy in London, who can be contacted on 0207 631 1920.
