As of 1st March 2021, Cyprus introduced the country categorization of the European Centre of Disease and Control (ECDC), which classifies countries into green, orange or red categories. The grey category will also be added which foresees obtaining a special permission to travel to Cyprus.
All passengers, regardless of the country category, will need to apply for a Cyprus Flight Pass through the dedicated electronic portal.
The new categorization will be implemented gradually, starting from 1st March 2021, and the Ministry of Health will announce on a weekly basis the categorization of the countries. An announcement concerning any future change will be published at the following link.
