Starting 2 January 2026, Turkey is changing its entry regulations for Republic of Cyprus passport holders, abolishing the sticker visa system at points of entry into the country. Travellers must now secure a visa either electronically before their journey to Turkey or from Turkish diplomatic missions abroad.
According to the website Kıbrıs Postası, this change does not affect “citizens” of the “trnc” (Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus), as the pseudo-state is referred to. They will continue to enter Turkey without a visa under the current system.
