The procedure for entry into Cyprus from the Embassy of the Republic of Cyprus in Moscow: "Citizens of third countries who have valid Schengen visas of type C, single, double, multiple and already entered the Schengen area, subject to the conditions for granting Schengen visas issued by them, have the right to enter and stay on the territory Of the Republic of Cyprus without a national visa for a period equal to the remaining period of stay provided for by the visa granted to them, but not longer than the validity of the visa. "
Does this mean that with a Schengen visa, a Russian can enter Cyprus without obtaining a Cyprus visa only from the Schengen area, and to enter Russia even with a Schengen visa, it is still necessary to issue a Cyprus visa?
Responds information department of "Subtlety of Tourism"
Citizens of the Russian Federation and the CIS are not required to issue a national visa of the Republic of Cyprus if they have valid Schengen visas of category C, and have already entered them into the Schengen area. Such citizens can enter the territory of Cyprus from the space of any state. Excluded are only holders of single Schengen visas of category C, which must enter Cyprus directly from the Schengen area.
Remember that the period of stay on the island is limited to the number of days indicated in the visa and which remains with the applicant after being in the Schengen area during the period of the Schengen visa category C (single, double or multiple).
