British passport holders enter Cyprus visa-free for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. No fee, no advance application. Passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry (Cyprus applies a stricter validity rule than most EU states). A passport, not a national ID card, is required for UK nationals post-Brexit.

This makes Cyprus useful for extended Mediterranean stays alongside Schengen time. Border officers may ask for proof of accommodation, return travel, and sufficient funds (no fixed minimum).
