Good to know
Visa-free for bona fide visitors staying up to 90 days (Cyprus MFA list). Cyprus defines a short stay as up to 90 days within any 180-day period (gov.cy Visas). Cyprus is an EU member but not yet part of the Schengen Area: days spent in Cyprus are not counted toward the Schengen 90/180 rule (European Commission short-stay calculator manual), and are counted separately for Cyprus.
