Passport validity is strictly enforced
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you enter Cyprus. Airlines check this before boarding — if your passport expires sooner, you won't be allowed to fly.
Keep a copy of your return ticket
Immigration officers at Larnaca and Paphos airports often ask to see proof of onward travel. A screenshot on your phone is fine, but a printed copy is even safer.
What happens at the border
1
Arrival at Larnaca or Paphos airport
After landing, follow signs to 'All Passports' — Chilean passports go to the non-EU line. Have your passport and return ticket ready. The officer will stamp you in for up to 90 days.
2
At the immigration counter
Hand over your passport. The officer may ask: purpose of visit, where you're staying, and when you leave. Answer clearly. They'll stamp your passport and you're in.
3
Collect baggage and exit
After the stamp, head to baggage claim, then customs. Green channel if you have nothing to declare. You're free to go.
