Crossing the border between Northern Cyprus (TRNC) and the Republic of Cyprus occurs without passport stamps — the transition is recorded only in the electronic system.

Are stamps placed when crossing

When crossing the border between Northern Cyprus (TRNC) and the Republic of Cyprus, no stamps are placed in the passport. For the southern part of the island, this line is considered an internal border, and the North effectively follows these rules. The check is carried out only through the database — your document is scanned, and the system records the crossing.

Length of stay in Northern Cyprus when crossing

If you return to the North, the police officer issues you a new number of days during which you can stay in TRNC.
It is important to check with the border officer yourself exactly how many days you were given to avoid overstaying.
