Step-by-Step Application Process

Check Exemption Eligibility

Determine if you possess a valid double or multiple-entry Schengen visa, or a visa/residence permit for Bulgaria or Romania. If yes, you might be exempt from a Cyprus visa.

Gather Required Documents

If you need a national visa, compile your passport, completed application form, photos, and supporting financial/travel documents.

Apply via VFS Global

In Lebanon, the Embassy of Cyprus processes visas through the VFS Global Visa Application Centre. Book an appointment online.

Submit and Pay

Attend your appointment at VFS Global in Beirut, submit your application, provide biometrics, and pay the visa and service fees.

Required Documents

—Valid Lebanese Passport (valid for at least 3 months from the date of departure from Cyprus)
—Completed and signed Cyprus Visa Application Form
—Two recent passport-sized photos
—Proof of accommodation (Hotel reservation or assumption of responsibility form from a host)
—Proof of sufficient funds (Recent bank statements)
—Confirmed round-trip flight reservation

Important Tips

•The 'Assumption of Responsibility' form for hosting guests must be certified by a certifying officer in Cyprus.
•Do not confuse the Republic of Cyprus with the 'Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus' (TRNC), which has completely different entry requirements.
•If relying on a Schengen visa to enter, ensure you have already entered the Schengen zone first if it's a single/double entry visa, or hold a multiple-entry one.
•Bank statements must be stamped and signed by the bank.

Easiest Way to Get It

If you do not already hold a valid Schengen visa, applying through VFS Global in Beirut with all your financial and travel documents in perfect order is the required method.

Visa rules can change. Always verify with the official embassy.
