The Ministry of Health, aiming at reinforcing immunity against COVID-19, and to better serve the public, has proceeded with planning vaccinations to persons who visit the Republic of Cyprus and wish to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.

Specifically, the vaccination of persons visiting Cyprus for a brief period of time exceeding two weeks, either for a family visit, for work purposes or for any other reason, and who do not fall under the category of immigrants, asylum seekers, or refugees from other countries, has been approved.

The vaccination of foreign visitors may be conducted in walk-in vaccination centres in all regions.

It is reminded that:

• Walk-in vaccination centres in all regions, with the exception of the vaccination centres in Kyperounda and Polis Chrysochous, operate from Monday to Friday, from 8 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. Timetable follows.
• A booster dose is recommended for all persons aged 12 and over, provided that a period of five (5) months has elapsed since the last vaccine dose.
• A booster dose is recommended after three (3) months have elapsed since a first positive COVID-19 test.
• In order to receive a COVID-19 vaccine, identification must be provided (ID, passport), as well as a vaccination certificate. Foreign visitors will need to provide proof of staying in Cyprus for more than two weeks (e.g. arrival ticket).

For the vaccination of persons under 18 years of age, a Parent/Guardian consent form, signed by both parents, must be provided, where applicable, in Greek or English.
