  16. Cyprus

    answer

    Before
    No. Cyprus is an EU member but not part of the Schengen Area, so time spent there is counted separately from your Schengen allowance. The EU's official ETIAS website, however, lists Cyprus among the 30 European countries that will require ETIAS, and says time spent in Cyprus will be calculated separately from the 90 days allowed in the other countries; ETIAS is not yet in operation.

    No. The UK government says Cyprus is not part of the Schengen area, so visits to Cyprus do not count towards the 90-day visa-free limit in the Schengen area, and visits to other EU or Schengen countries do not count towards the 90-day limit in Cyprus.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs says holders of a valid double- or multiple-entry Schengen visa, or of a national visa or residence permit issued by a Schengen state, do not need a Cypriot short-stay visa for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. Turkish and Azerbaijani citizens are excluded from this rule, and a single-entry Schengen visa does not qualify.
    After
    Yes, if it is a valid Schengen visa for two or multiple entries. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs says holders of such a visa, and holders of national visas and residence permits issued by Schengen Member States, do not need a short-stay visa to enter Cyprus for a period not exceeding 90 days in any 180-day period. Turkish and Azerbaijani citizens are excluded from this provision.

  19. Cyprus

    summary

    Before
    Cyprus is an EU member but not part of the Schengen Area, so it runs its own national visa policy aligned with the EU visa-free list: EU/EEA citizens enter freely, Schengen-exempt nationalities get 90 days in any 180 (which do not count against the Schengen allowance), and holders of valid double- or multiple-entry Schengen visas can enter without a separate Cypriot visa (except Turkish and Azerbaijani citizens).

Holders of ordinary passports of the countries on the EU list of nationals exempt from holding a visa at the external borders do not need a visa; EU Regulation 2018/1806 exempts them for stays of no more than 90 days in any 180-day period. Holders of a valid Schengen visa for two or multiple entries, or of a national visa or residence permit issued by a Schengen state, can enter without a Cypriot short-stay visa for up to 90 days in any 180-day period, except Turkish and Azerbaijani citizens.
