Cyprus Tourist Visa Fees for Indians (2026, in Rupees)

These amounts are as published on the official sources, checked on 2026-10-15, with one caveat on the rupee figures explained below. For documents, centres and the application steps, see our Cyprus visa guide for Indians.

How much is the Cyprus tourist visa fee in INR?

The rupee figure follows the exchange rate provided by the Cyprus mission. The euro amount is the real fee.

For a family, add it up per person. Two adults pay EUR 90 each, a child aged 8 pays EUR 45 and a child aged 4 pays nothing, plus one VFS service fee for each applicant.

Why do some pages show INR 9900 instead of INR 9800?

Because VFS publishes two different sets of figures. The live VFS Cyprus page, used in our dataset, shows INR 9800 for adults, INR 4900 for children and a service fee of INR 334. The VFS India Cyprus one-pager, fetched on 16 October 2026, shows INR 9900 for adults, INR 5000 for children and a service fee of INR 633.

On a recheck, the live VFS page returned an access error (HTTP 403), so the current rupee amounts could not be reconfirmed. The High Commission publishes the fee only in euros: EUR 90 and EUR 45, plus a VFS fee of €2.6 excluding GST.

The practical answer: budget for the higher figure and pay what the VFS counter shows on the day.

Does a multiple-entry visa cost more?

No. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Cyprus charges the same EUR 90 / INR 9800 for a multiple-entry visa as for a single trip. It allows stays of up to 90 days and can be valid from 6 months to 5 years.

The catch is eligibility, not price. Cyprus issues multiple-entry visas to applicants who need to visit frequently and who prove their integrity and reliability, in particular lawful use of previous Cyprus or other EU or EEA visas. They must also show their economic situation in India and a genuine intention to leave Cyprus before the visa expires.

Can a Schengen visa save you the Cyprus fee?

Yes, if it is the right kind. Indians holding a valid double-entry or multiple-entry Schengen (Category C) visa can enter Cyprus without a Cyprus visa, for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. A valid D visa or residence permit of an EU country (except the UK and Ireland) or a Schengen country works too.

A single-entry Schengen visa is not on that list. If yours is single-entry, apply for a Cyprus visa as normal.

Is the fee refunded if Cyprus refuses the visa?

No. The visa fee is non-refundable, so check your file before you pay. In 2025, 11.8% of short-stay visa applications at the High Commission in New Delhi were not issued (466 visas not issued; 3,950 applications), against 17.5% in 2024 (407 visas not issued; 2,323 applications). That European Commission data covers all nationalities and purposes, not only Indian tourists.

What else should you budget for?

• Travel medical insurance: minimum coverage of EUR 30 000, valid in Cyprus for the whole stay. Do not buy it from a company under EU sanctions.
• Photos: two 35mm x 45mm colour photos on a white background, signed at the back and not older than 6 months.
• A host's guarantee, for family visits: if you stay with someone in Cyprus, the host submits a hosting form with an original letter of guarantee, €855 for Asian countries, stamped by the Migration Department.
• Flights and hotel: a two-way flight itinerary and hotel reservations or other proof of accommodation are on the VFS checklist.

Where and when do you pay?

At a VFS centre, you pay the visa fee and the VFS charge when you submit. The High Commission's contract with VFS Global took effect on 21 July 2026, opening 19 centres across India, from Chandigarh and Jalandhar to Trivandrum and Guwahati. Applications from centres outside Delhi reach the High Commission on the third working day.

You can also apply at the High Commission in New Delhi, by appointment only via delhi.consulate@mfa.gov.cy. There the fee is paid in euro, in cash.

Apply no earlier than six months and no later than fifteen calendar days before your visit. VFS says processing normally takes 10 to 15 working days; the High Commission gives a maximum of 15 days, extendable up to 45 days in individual cases.

Yatra For Fun's India office in Gurugram prepares the two-way flight reservation, hotel booking, itinerary and cover letter a Cyprus file asks for. Packages run from INR 1,000 for a flight reservation to INR 3,000 for the reservation, hotel, itinerary and cover letter together. WhatsApp +91 95230 91018 or contact us.

Frequently asked questions

Can I apply for a Cyprus e-visa from India?

No. The High Commission in New Delhi states that electronic visa applications cannot be submitted at this stage. You apply in person at a VFS Global centre in India or at the High Commission by appointment, where fingerprints and a photo are taken.

Do Indians need a transit visa for a Cyprus airport?

No airport transit visa is needed to stay in the international transit zone of a Cypriot airport, because India is on neither the EU common list nor the Cyprus airport-transit-visa list. An airport transit visa (category A), where required, costs 90 euro.

Can I get a Cyprus visa on arrival?

No. Indians must get a Cyprus visa before travel. Cyprus issues a border visa of up to 15 days only exceptionally, in emergencies and with the Migration Director's approval, to travellers who could not apply in advance.

Is the Cyprus visa fee the same for business trips?

Yes. The short-stay (Category C) visa fee of EUR 90 / INR 9800 applies across short-stay purposes such as tourism, business and visiting family and friends.
