About the Cypriot Embassy in Berlin
The Cypriot Embassy in Berlin is the official diplomatic representation of the Republic of Cyprus in Germany. It represents Cypriot interests and promotes political, economic, cultural and institutional relations between Cyprus and Germany.
Cyprus and Germany are closely connected as members of the European Union. Their bilateral relationship includes cooperation on European policy, trade, energy, security, tourism, education and cultural exchange.
Economic and personal ties are also important. Germany is a major European partner for Cyprus, while Cyprus is a popular destination for German travellers and an established location for international business, shipping and services.
In addition to its diplomatic activities, the embassy provides consular services for Cypriot citizens and assists with passports, identity documents, civil registration and other official matters.
Visa Information
Cypriot citizens do not need a visa for Germany. As citizens of the European Union, they benefit from EU freedom of movement and can enter Germany with a valid Cypriot passport or national identity card.
German citizens likewise do not need a visa to travel to the Republic of Cyprus. They can generally enter with a valid German passport or identity card and benefit from EU freedom of movement rules.
Cyprus is an EU member state but is not yet a full member of the Schengen Area. Therefore, some entry and visa procedures for third-country nationals differ from those applying in Schengen countries.
Third-country nationals living in Germany should check whether they require a Cyprus visa before travelling. The applicable rules depend on nationality, residence status and the travel document held.
Consular Services
The consular section of the Cypriot Embassy in Berlin provides a wide range of services for Cypriot citizens who live in Germany or are temporarily staying in the country.
- Cypriot passport applications and renewals
- Biometric identity card applications
- Civil registry and personal status matters
- Birth and other registration procedures
- Legalisation and document certification
- Powers of attorney and related document services
- Certificates of clear criminal record
- Driving licence-related consular information
- Military service information
- Emergency assistance for Cypriot citizens
The exact procedure depends on the service requested. Passport, identity card and certain document procedures may require a personal appearance and supporting documents.
Applicants should therefore contact the consular section in Berlin before visiting and confirm which documents are required for their particular application.
Appointments
The Cypriot Embassy recommends contacting the consular section in advance for information and, where necessary, arranging a consular appointment.
Appointments can currently be arranged by telephone or email. The exact procedure depends on whether the applicant requires a passport, identity card, certification, civil registry service or another consular procedure.
Applicants should also check which Cypriot mission is responsible for their place of residence. Residents of Bremen, Hamburg, Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein fall under the consular jurisdiction of the Consulate General in Hamburg rather than the embassy's Berlin consular district.
Diplomatic Missions between Cyprus and Germany
Cyprus is represented in Germany by the Cypriot Embassy in Berlin. Its consular district covers Germany with the exception of Bremen, Hamburg, Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein.
Cyprus also maintains a Consulate General in Hamburg, which is responsible for those four northern German states.
In addition, Cyprus has Honorary Consulates in Frankfurt am Main, Leipzig and Munich. Honorary consulates generally provide a more limited range of services than the embassy or Consulate General.
