Conditions

Under EU Decision 565/2014 Cyprus unilaterally recognises a Schengen category C visa issued for TWO OR MORE entries as equivalent to its own national visa.
A single-entry Schengen visa does not qualify. The visa must be valid on arrival.
Up to 90 days in any 180-day period.
Days spent in Cyprus do NOT count against your Schengen 90/180 allowance — the two are tracked separately.
Cyprus is in the EU but not in the Schengen area: it accepts the visa, it does not issue it.
