Κυπριακή Δημοκρατία, gov.cy - πληροφορίες θεωρήσεων (Republic of Cyprus, visa information published for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs)
Applies the ruleThe Republic's visa page at https://www.gov.cy/en/information/visas/, which is the one place the state says plainly what Cyprus's position outside Schengen means for a traveller: that visas and residence permits issued by the Republic have validity only for the Republic, and that only after full integration into the acquis will they carry a right of free movement in the rest of the Schengen area. It carries the types of visa with their durations, the fee table, the conditions of application, the categories not required to hold a visa, and the note telling applicants not to complete fields 25, 26 and 28 of the form. It also links the Republic's own PDF copies of the Annexes to Regulation (EU) 2018/1806.
The body that applies the rule and decides applications. It publishes what it requires, which is authoritative about its own practice but is not the text of the law.
www.gov.cy/en/information/visasCannot be cited for
It is an administrative page and not an instrument, and on the one point that matters most it is ahead of the statute rather than aligned with it: it publishes 90 days in any 180-day period, where article 9(4)(b)(i) of Cap. 105 still defines a visa for the Republic as permitting no more than three months in any half-year from the date of first entry. Its carve-out of Turkish and Azerbaijani citizens from the Schengen-document concession appears in no instrument read for this corpus. It carries no date of its own, so a change can only be detected by comparing readings. It cannot be cited for residence: entry for the purpose of residence is the Migration Department's, and the page says so.
