    FAQ answer

    Before
    The left, like the UK, Ireland and Malta. Rental cars are right-hand drive with distinctive red plates, and speed limits are posted in kilometers per hour.
    After
    The left. Canada's travel advice and the US CDC both say traffic drives on the left in Cyprus. Canada adds that you must be at least 18 to drive and can use a Canadian licence for up to 6 months.

  3. Cyprus

    FAQ answer

    Before
    Yes, by crossing at recognized checkpoints (such as Ledra Street in Nicosia) with your passport after entering through the south. Arriving directly in the north via Ercan airport or northern ports is considered illegal entry by the Republic of Cyprus and can cause problems, including refusal of entry in the south.
    After
    Yes, by crossing at a designated crossing point after entering through the south — Canada says crossing the UN buffer zone anywhere else is illegal. The UK FCDO says entering through the north, for example via Ercan Airport, is treated by the Republic of Cyprus as illegal entry and can lead to a fine or to being prevented from crossing back into the north.

  4. Cyprus

  5. Cyprus

    Tip

    Before
    Days spent in Cyprus do not count against your Schengen 90/180 allowance — Cyprus is EU but not Schengen — making it a popular stop for travelers resetting their Schengen days.
    After
    The UK FCDO says Cyprus is not part of the Schengen area, so visits to Cyprus do not count towards your 90-day visa-free limit in Schengen, and Schengen days do not count towards your limit in Cyprus.

  6. Cyprus

    Tip

    Before
    Cyprus drives on the left, a legacy of British rule. Take extra care at roundabouts and when picking up a rental car, and note that rural roads can be narrow and winding.
    After
    Traffic drives on the left in Cyprus, according to Canada's travel advice and the US CDC. Canada adds that vehicle insurance bought in the Republic of Cyprus is not valid in the north, including for rental cars.

  7. Cyprus

    Tip

    Before
    Entering Cyprus through airports or ports in the Turkish-occupied north (e.g. Ercan) is treated as illegal entry by the Republic of Cyprus. Arrive via the south (Larnaca or Paphos). You can then cross to the north and back at recognized checkpoints with your passport.
    After
    The UK FCDO says that if you enter through the north (for example Ercan Airport), the Republic of Cyprus considers you to have entered illegally: you could be fined or prevented from crossing back into the north. Entering through the south, you can use any crossing point to move between north and south.
