南非(South Africa) 前往 塞浦路斯(Cyprus) 签证要求

South African ordinary passport holders need a visa before traveling to Cyprus. Cyprus issues a Category C short-stay (tourist) visa for stays up to 90 days within any 180-day period. There is no e-visa, no visa-on-arrival, and no visa-free channel for South Africans. Applications are made in person at the Cyprus High Commission in Pretoria. A South Africa (ZA) ordinary passport holder requires a visa to enter Cyprus for tourism. Cyprus is an EU member state but is NOT part of the Schengen Area, so it operates its own national short-stay (Category C) visa rather than a Schengen visa. South Africa is on the list of nationalities that need a visa for Cyprus, so the EU/Schengen ETIAS travel authorization does NOT apply to South Africans (ETIAS is only for visa-exempt nationals). Applications are lodged in person at the Cyprus High Commission in Pretoria (375 Marais Street, Brooklyn), which currently does not use an online or VFS e-application channel for South Africa. The standard short-stay visa fee is EUR 80 (about R1,630), payable in cash, with EUR 40 for children aged 6-12. Processing is typically about 10 working days, extending to roughly 20 working days in peak season. The visa allows a tourist stay of up to 90 days in any 180-day period from first entry. Note one exemption: holders of a valid Schengen visa or Schengen residence permit may enter Cyprus without a separate Cyprus visa for up to 90 days. As of 2026 Cyprus is in the process of joining Schengen but has not yet acceded, so the national visa regime still applies. Verdict: visa-required, default-safe and confirmed against official/authoritative sources.
