Cyprus — EU member, but NOT yet Schengen
Cyprus issues its own short-stay (Category C) and long-stay (Type D) visas through the High Commission of the Republic of Cyprus, New Delhi. Indian applicants apply via VFS in 14 cities — every file is forwarded to New Delhi for the final decision.
Already hold a valid multi-entry Schengen visa?
You can enter Cyprus without a separate visa. Single-entry Schengen visas don't qualify — only multi-entry. Confirm validity dates before you fly.

A Cyprus Business Visa is a national short-stay visa (Category C) for Indian professionals visiting Cyprus for meetings, trade shows, conferences, or exploring business opportunities. Valid up to 90 days within any 6-month period. This category does NOT permit paid work — for employment, apply for a Type D Long-Stay work permit. Indians holding a valid multi-entry Schengen visa do not need a separate Cyprus visa.
What it costs
Paid directly to Cyprus / VFS — these are not our service fee, and we never mark them up.
Figures per VFS Global, last verified 30 Apr 2026. Fees change without notice — the official page is final.
INR amounts follow the current exchange rate set by the Cyprus mission and may change without notice. Visa fee is paid via Demand Draft favouring 'Cyprus High Commission' — VFS has a bank counter to help prepare the DD. Fees are NOT refunded for refused or withdrawn applications.

The letter your itinerary attaches toWe can arrange the flight reservation, the hotel and the itinerary for your Cyprus file — each sold separately.
We are a B2B travel agency as well as a visa consultancy, working with partners including Riya Travel — so the flight reservation and the confirmed hotel booking both come from us, and you deal with one team. Every booking is a real one under your own name. We do not sell travel insurance: buy the policy directly from an insurer.
None of them is part of our visa fee: each is bought on its own, at the price below, with or without our visa service.

Book your VFS appointment
Choose a VFS Cyprus centre near you (14 Indian cities). Book online via the VFS Global India portal.
Submit at VFS + pay fees

VFS forwards to the High Commission
Indian VFS centres forward applications on the 3rd working day after submission to the High Commission in New Delhi.
Wait 10–15 working days for the decision
Track via VFS. The High Commission decides without an interview in most cases. If approved, your passport returns to your VFS centre with the visa sticker.

Once notified, collect from VFS (or use VFS courier-back service if you opted for it at submission). Verify visa validity dates and entry type before leaving the counter.

Frequently asked
Both are Category C short-stay visas with the same fee (₹9,900) and processing (10–15 working days). Business requires an invitation letter from a Cyprus-registered company and a Chamber of Commerce certificate; Tourist needs hotel reservations and a leisure itinerary instead.
No. The Business visa permits meetings, trade shows, conferences, and exploratory trips — not paid employment, freelancing, or contract work. For paid work, apply for a Type D Long-Stay work permit (initiated by the Cypriot employer).
No. A valid multi-entry Schengen visa lets you enter Cyprus without a separate visa, regardless of purpose. Confirm your Schengen visa is multi-entry and still valid before flying.
Up to 90 days within any 6-month period. Multi-entry visas valid up to 5 years are granted at the High Commission's discretion — useful for repeat business travellers.

Your fee, in one glance
Government, VFS, insurance, ticket and hotel costs are separate and charged at cost. Read what each item means, in full.
Before you file
Filed on a guessed checklist, the government fee is gone on a refusal and the refusal follows every future application. Filed after a consultant at our licensed firm has read the papers against each other, the file answers the officer's questions before they are asked. Same Cyprus rules, different outcome. How we do that is written once, in full, on the method page rather than repeated here.
