Providence in Cyprus: the date of manufacture and reviews. How to apply for Cyprus

Cyprus is one of the most popular resorts with very beautiful scenery, warm waters and unforgettable impressions. For Russian citizens, a visa to Cyprus is a free pleasure, despite the fact that Cyprus is a member of the European Union. Since 2009, residents of our country have an additional opportunity to prepare a trip to the island - a proviso to Cyprus.

What is the provision

This concept actually means a visa with a simplified process of obtaining it. Providence for Cyprus is issued as if in advance, that is, in fact a real visa is placed only when crossing the border on the way to the island. The preliminary travel authorization is a sheet of A4 format printed from the Internet, which the person who ordered the permit received in response to the completed online questionnaire. This paper is a confirmation upon registration for the required flight at the airport. This mark is considered a short-term visa and it is issued only for a period of not more than 90 days. In the provisional the exact period of its validity is indicated with the indication of concrete dates within which the holiday-maker can enter the island.

Requirements for obtaining permission

An obligatory requirement for obtaining permission to enter the island of Cyprus is the availability of a foreign passport, which is in use by a Russian citizen for at least 6 months. It should be borne in mind that the provision for Cyprus is issued one-time: the citizen receives permission for one trip to the island. If a person needs to enter there even a few hours after departure, he will need to issue an additional permit.

How to fill out the application for a receipt

If you want to obtain such a preliminary entry permit, as a provisional permit for Cyprus, on your own, everything is quite simple here. To begin with, you need to download a questionnaire from the Internet resource (better than the official website of the embassy of the island) to fill out an application for a provision. It is a regular file in a document format that can be opened on the computer by any office program. For this purpose only alternative office programs, only Microsoft Office Word, since 2003 are not suitable. The questionnaire consists of the mandatory items that must be completed in English. The name and surname must correspond to that variant of the spelling, as in the citizen's passport. Among the basic obligatory data that must be entered in the questionnaire (name, surname, date of birth, sex, place of residence and citizenship), you must fill in the information about the parents, the place of work, the passport of the citizen leaving for vacation, the airport and the address of residence in Cyprus for Time relax. If a person lives in a hotel, it is enough to include information about booking a room in the application.

The data must be filled very carefully, without errors. Save the application preferably in the same format as downloaded. Some experts recommend using the version of the program until 2007. For a saved file, a person who wishes to be granted permission to enter the island must correctly create a name: at the very beginning, the date of submission of the application in the format year / month / day is indicated, without any punctuation between numbers, then the name of the applicant submitting the application in Latin letters. The answer to the completed questionnaire will come to the same email address from which it was sent. Providence for Cyprus is presented at the border crossing. But it's better to have not only a printed version, but also a file with a resolution saved on a flash drive.

Pre-authorization for children

Providence for Cyprus for a child is issued without problems, if he has his own passport or his name is inscribed in the parents' document. This is a prerequisite for the issuance of a preliminary permit. When applying for a permit, you must fill out a separate questionnaire for the child, while in the information column on the foreign passport you need to indicate all the data on the foreign documents of the parents. If the child has his own document, then you need to specify information about him. When sending such a questionnaire to the topic, it is necessary to make a CHILD mark.

If a child travels abroad with only one parent, then no additional permits from the second parent are required to register a pre-visa, but it is necessary to issue a paper visa at the border.

Nuances of obtaining permission to enter Cyprus

When obtaining permission to enter Cyprus from the Internet, it must be taken into account that it is issued only once. If the traveler needs to repeatedly cross the border back and forth, it is better to issue a multivisa. In addition, it is necessary to take into account that the provision is issued only for 90 days for six months. To obtain it there are practically no restrictions. This permission can not be obtained by the person:

• Who do not have Russian citizenship;
• Who plan to cross the border with Cyprus by sea.

Practically receiving the provision takes no more than a day, but the rules state that this term can be up to 5 working days. According to the feedback of the citizens who received this permission, the answer to the application can come to the e-mail after an hour, but there are some delays. Therefore, it is better to book a provision in advance, 10 days before the proposed departure.

To take into account when ordering this permit, it is necessary that it can only be received for tourist trips. A little more careful to be when crossing the border with North Cyprus. Rather, it is possible to enter this territory without problems, but to leave better through the border with Cyprus, so that in the passport there was both entry and exit notes. And when going across the border of Northern Cyprus, such a mark is not put, and a person can subsequently be prohibited from visiting the island for 5-10 years.

What rights after receiving the provision

Provision for Cyprus, the production time of which does not exceed 5 working days, is valid for three months. In this resolution, the date of its issuance, the date of its expiration, is clearly indicated. As already mentioned, the permit is valid for 90 days, that is three months. The person who received it can cross the border even on the last day of its operation. The sheet printed from the electronic mail is presented at registration at the airport or at the border crossing by another mode of transport, except for the sea, and the customs officer should put a note in the passport of the person presenting the provocative.

Advantages of the provision in comparison with the permission issued by the consulate

In fact, the visa and the provision for Cyprus (what it is, we have already found out) mean the same thing, only the problem is that the permission issued by the consulate is an official document, and the paper from the Internet is not. Although this is a preliminary note, it has a lot of advantages in obtaining.

1. Permission is obtained through the Internet and does not require personal presence in the consulate of Cyprus in Russia.
2. Simplified procedure for obtaining a slogan.
3. The time of obtaining this permission through the Internet is as short as possible, sometimes it can be in you an hour after the questionnaire is sent.
4. When submitting an application, no additional documents are required, including air tickets.

Reviews rested in Cyprus on proviz

As already mentioned, since 2009 there is a proviso for Cyprus, reviews of tourists about which are quite positive. Even from the very beginning of the resolution of problems at the border, a minimum emerged, all of them were decided by the chief customs inspector. And in recent years a simple sheet of paper, printed from the Internet, does not cause suspicion. The most important thing when you leave home is not to forget the passport and the proviso, printed out from e-mail.
