Which applications to download, where to fill out the flight pass, which vaccines are suitable and where not to get without a QR code.
Dividing into zones
As we have already told you before, due to a new wave of infection caused by the delta strain of coronavirusAlso known as lineage B.1.617.2, or Indian variant, the authorities of North Cyprus have introduced new restrictions for tourists and prescribed new rules for staying on the island. All the countries are divided into several zones – from dark red to gray.
Here is what they mean:
- Russia, Kazakhstan, Israel, Georgia and other statesSouth Cyprus, Great Britain, Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain, Andorra, Iran, Iraq, Malaysia, Mongolia, Philippines, Portugal, Reunion Island, Saint Martin, USA, Faroe Islands are into the”Red Zone”. This means that those who come from these countries will have to present a negative PCR test translated into English (the validity period is 72 hours), and also serve a quarantine: 5 days (it does not matter whether there is a vaccine or not). However, a vaccine is required to enter the casino.
The full course is two vaccinations. The Russian “Sputnik V” is suitable, those who have been ill with coronavirus over the past six months and those who have put a foreign vaccine on themselves will also be vaccinated: (Pfizer / BioNTech, AstraZeneca, Moderna, CoronaVac, Sinopharm, Johnson&Johnson).
Look at the requirements for people arriving from other countries:
- Belarus, Ukraine, Poland, the Baltic countries, Turkey, Lebanon, Azerbaijan, othersThere are 27 countries in the list of the “orange zone”, including: France, Monaco, Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Ireland, Italy, Kosovo, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Spain, the United Arab Emirates, the Scandinavian countries. This means that those who come from these countries will also have to present a negative PCR test, but otherwise there will be concessions: vaccinated / recovered from quarantine, and unvaccinated will have to serve 5 days in isolation.
- Germany, Poland and othersAustralia, Hungary, New Zealand, Romania, Singapore, Slovakia fell into the “Green Zone”. Vaccinated / ill people who came from these countries will not be limited by anything. The unvaccinated will only need to present a negative PCR test.
- Mexico, Bahamas, Cayman Islands, Cuba, Seychelles, Sri Lanka, India and almost 50 more countries, most of them are countries of the so-called. “third world”, got into the “dark red zone”. Those who came from these countries to Northern Cyprus will not be allowed at all. No dough, no vaccinated, none.
- Armenia, Maldives, Cambodia, Haiti, Kyrgyzstan, Vietnam, Thailand, Montenegro and two dozen other countries fell into the “Gray Zone”. Those who come from these countries will be asked for a negative PCR test, and then placed in a mandatory two-week quarantine.
When assessing which “zone” you came from, they will look not at the citizenship in the passport, but at the movements around the world over the past 14 days. For example, if you are a Russian citizen, but you have been travelling in Turkey for the last 14 days, then you will be considered to be in the “orange zone”, and not in the “red”.
Please note: All medical documents (tests, vaccination certificates (only in Larnaca) must be translated into English. It is also necessary that at least 14 days have passed after the last administration of the second dose of the vaccine. In any case, the PCR test should be passed to all those entering – both vaccinated and not. The exception is only for visitors from the “green” zone.
If you’re traveling from Russia:
If you are flying to North Cyprus via South Cyprus and Larnaca Airport, then you need to:

After filling out the form, you will receive an email with a QR code. You need to print it out before the flight and upon arrival in Cyprus; Specify any hotel in the South part of Cyprus, not Merit.
- Get and print out a pro-visa (you can get it online on the website of the Consulate of the Republic of Cyprus in Russia). Attention: filling in the “hotel” column, do not indicate that you are going to live in the “Merit” hotel, otherwise you will be refused a pro – visa.

It is better to put an entry stamp on a separate leaflet: the authorities of the Republic of Cyprus consider visiting North Cyprus a violation of immigration law, so it is better to refrain from any marks about visiting a partially recognized country in the passport, otherwise in the future there may be difficulties with obtaining a Schengen visa.
You will be asked for registration in the Guven Kal application, PCR test and passport at the Turkish border. On arrival, you will be given a special bracelet that connects via the Guven Kal app. This application will monitor your movements during a five-day quarantine. The bracelet will be removed after 5 days.
Some an update about entering North Cyprus.
The rules have been adjusted, one more item has been added to everything described above.

Quarantine
In order for you to be quarantined, you need to live somewhere. In the case of MILLIONS North Cyprus participants, the place of residence will be the Merit hotel complex. The address of your hotel, phone number and a list of people you will be staying with, need to be uploaded to the Guven Kal app. The time of serving isolation will begin from the moment of pairing the electronic bracelet you are wearing and the Guven Kal application (specially trained people are responsible for this). After activating the bracelet, you will be given 2 hours to get to your place of residence.
During the entire quarantine period, you will be forbidden to leave the territory of the Merit Hotel – Guven Kal will monitor your movements. You can walk around the territory everywhere: restaurants, casinos, the beach. After the end of the isolation period, the bracelet will be removed from you, you will have to pass another PCR test; a QR code will appear in the application and you will be free to move. But not always and not everywhere.
