Citizens of all countries (except Armenia, Nigeria and Syria) may obtain a free visa on arrival by the Immigration Officer at the designated ports and border crossings for a maximum stay of 90 days within any 180-day period.[1]

All foreign citizens who wish to stay in Northern Cyprus for more than 90 days, are required to obtain a residence permit. Foreign citizens who exceed the period of stay without a residence permit will be issued a visa penalty fine (100.23 Turkish lira for each day) that has to be paid on a future re-entry.
