Travel from North Cyprus (in Turkey, de-jure it is called the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus - TRNC) to the southern part of the island - the Republic of Cyprus - is formally considered illegal $ ±.Legally Cyprus is recognized throughout the world as a single state, part of which is occupied by Turkey..That is, having entered the island from Turkey through the northern part, in fact the traveler enters the country illegally, bypassing the border services of the Republic of Cyprus (the stamp on crossing the border at the entrance to North Cyprus is put on a separate piece of paper; if it is put on the passport, visas of all European countries will become invalid) .

In other words, it is possible to leave Northern Cyprus and go to another state only through Turkey: in accordance with international agreements from the TRNC, there are no direct flights to Turkey except in Turkey. In fact, there are direct flights, but on the way the planes have to land at any airport in Turkey, and the boards of many air companies formally observe this rule, sitting down and then taking off.
