Cyprus visa: the essentials

Documents you will usually need

  • Application form, completed and signed
  • Your passport and a recent passport photo
  • Proof of your UK immigration status
  • Return travel booking and where you will stay
  • Recent bank statements showing you can pay for the trip
  • Your situation in the UK: work, studies or family

The High Commission's checklist is the one that counts — check it before your appointment.

How it works from the UK

You hand in your application at a visa centre in the UK, and the Cyprus Consulate General in London makes the decision.

Regular or Prime Time?

Regular appointments run in normal opening hours at no extra cost. Prime Time ones are outside the usual hours, and the visa centre charges extra for them. The visa type cards above show which queue each one is in.

Which visa type is yours?

Tourist
Holidays, sightseeing and short breaks.
Business
Meetings, conferences and trade fairs, usually with a letter from the company you are visiting.
Family & friends
Staying with people you know, usually with their invitation and proof they live there legally.
EU family
For family members of EU, EEA or Swiss citizens who travel with or join them: no visa fee and fewer papers.

Checked against official sources in October 2026: High Commission of Cyprus in the UK — visa information · Cyprus on the official VFS Global portal. Rules and fees change, so the official checklist for your appointment always wins.

What Visamigo does
Watches for open slots and alerts you. Nothing else.

Before you book

  • Create your login on the official portal today, so booking a slot that opens is a two-minute job.
  • Keep every applicant's passport number and travel dates in one note, ready to paste.
  • If a date works for you, take it there and then — someone else is looking at the same screen.
  • We never show dates here. The official portal has them; your alert tells you when to look.

Questions

How do I book a Cyprus visa appointment from Edinburgh?

You book on the official portal (linked on this page). Visamigo only tells you when a slot opens — we never book, hold or resell appointments for you.

How much does a Cyprus visa cost from the UK?

The fee is the pounds equivalent of €90, for single, double or multiple entry. The visa centre adds its own service fee.

How long does a Cyprus visa take?

Usually about 15 days, and up to 45 if more checks are needed. Apply no earlier than 6 months and no later than 15 days before you travel.

Why does the page sometimes say “None reported”?

It means nothing has been reported open recently. It is not a promise that there are none — slots can open at any time, which is why alerts are more reliable than checking by hand.

What does “Last check” mean?

It is the last time this centre was really checked. If monitoring pauses, the page says “Paused” rather than showing a fresh-looking time.
