Non-EU Students looking to travel and study in Cyprus need to apply and obtain a student visa and a temporary residence permit.
Holders of a valid, double or multiple entry, Schengen visa can travel to Cyprus without requiring the national visa to stay in Cyprus for up to 90 days.
EU and EFTA nationals do not require a student visa to enter Cyprus but will require a residence permit if their course will last longer than 90 days.
