I would like to ask the following if someone can help me...

We are Ukrainians and want to come to Girne for holidays. We will travel transit through Instanbul

Do we need to have a hotel voucher reservation before coming or we can book one through internet?

My girlfriend used to work before in Lebanon and South Cyprus. Is it going to be a problem to allow her to enter NC?

Will we have our passports stamped on entrance?

I will appreciate if I had answers to my questions

No you do not need visas. My wife is Ukrainian and when she travelled on a Ukrainian passport there was never any problem.We have also had a number of her friends visit our house with no problem and no visa.



You cannot enter RoC ( Southern Cyprus) without a visa issued by one of their consulates which is very involved with whether they think you will leave there or not.



You will get a stamp at Ercan airport, usually for 90 days but there is no problem using the same passport should you wish to visit RoC in the future. We both have plenty of TRNC stamps and they never bother in the south.

Thanks for the info.



That means that we dont even need to show any hotel vouchers in the airport?



I am planning to rent an appartment or a villa because we are staying for two weeks.

it is better if you show a hotel reservation or if you rent , a letter from the owner of the place. This is a proof you do not want to work in NC illeagally.
