Do Cypriot citizens need a visa for the United States?
Cyprus is not one of the 42 countries in the US Visa Waiver Program (Department of Homeland Security), so Cypriot citizens normally need a US visa before travelling to the United States, also for short visits; visas are issued by US embassies and consulates abroad, not by the Cypriot embassy in the United States.
