Cyprus Business Visa
Cyprus has a pretty straightforward business visa process.
The Cyprus Tourist Visa can also be called the “Short Stay” or “Travel Visa.”
The visa issued will likely be issued for multiple-entry, enabling foreigners who seek to enter Cyprus, for reasons other than immigration, to pay a multiple visits. The duration of each stay must not exceed three months in any half-year period from the date of first entry.
As a general rule, this visa could be issued for one or several entries. In the case of foreigners who need to travel frequently to Cyprus, for example on business, short-stay visas may be issued for several visits, provided that the total length of these visits does not exceed three months in any half-year. This multiple entry visa may be valid for one year, and in exceptional cases, for more than a year but for no more than five years for certain categories of people.
I’ll break everything down for you below about how to go about getting the Cyprus Business Visa.
