ID Requirement for Entry to TRNC
Turkish citizens may enter the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus for visitation purposes using their national ID cards. Air travel is carried out through the international terminal using a passport or national ID card. Since visitors who exit with a passport have their passports stamped when entering the TRNC, they may encounter visa issues during future travels to Greece. For ID card entry, the document provided by customs police must be kept and presented during both entry and exit.
Important Note: Turkish citizens traveling to the TRNC cannot complete departure procedures from Türkiye using old-style ID cards. If your ID card is an older version, we kindly advise you to have it renewed. Children aged 0–17 must also use PHOTO-equipped chip ID cards.
