Taiwan (Chinese Taipei) to Cyprus visa requirements

No. Taiwan ordinary passport holders can visit Cyprus visa-free for up to 90 days within any 180-day period, as long as the passport shows the holder's national ID number. Taiwan ordinary passport holders do not need a visa for short tourist or business visits to Cyprus. The exemption, in force since January 2011, allows stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day period and applies only to ordinary Taiwanese passports that contain the holder's national identity card number. Cyprus is an EU member but is NOT yet part of the Schengen Area (it is in the process of joining), so its 90/180 allowance is counted SEPARATELY from time spent in the Schengen zone — days in Cyprus do not consume your Schengen allowance and vice versa. No advance application is required today; travellers simply present a valid passport and proof of onward travel, accommodation, and funds at the border. ETIAS (the EU travel authorisation) does not apply to Cyprus until it formally joins Schengen and ETIAS goes live (expected late 2026); until then, entry is straightforward visa-free. Stays beyond 90 days, employment, study, or settlement still require a national visa.
