Cyprus has introduced tougher testing rules for UK visitors that could affect its appeal as a winter sun destination.

Arrivals in Cyprus face extended testing requirements

The UK has been placed in the island’s Red category, with all travellers now required to complete a Cyprus Flight Pass before travel. Passengers also require a negative PCR test result taken within 48 hours before departure.

The UK FCDO said travellers aged 12 and above must also take a PCR test on arrival at the airport in Cyprus, costing €15 - €19. Results are available within three hours and arrivals must self-isolate in accommodation until then.
