The Cypriot transport ministry announced the removal of the Cyprus Flight Pass from April 18.
Unvaccinated travellers will only be required to provide proof of a negative 24-hour rapid test or 72-hour PCR test.
Country categorisations will also be ditched from April 18.
The new requirements for travellers will be as follows:
Travellers are considered vaccinated if they have one of the following Covid-19 vaccines: Johnson&Johnson/Janssen, AstraZeneca, (Vaxzervia, Covishield, SKBio), Pfizer/BioNTech, Moderna, Sputnik V (Gam-Covid-Vac), Sinopharm (BBIBPCOVID-19), CovaVax, Sinovac (CoronaVac), Covaxin, Sputnik Light (only as a booster dose) and Novavax Nuvaxovid Covid-19.
Adults have no expiry date for their booster doses, while initial vaccination regimens – the initial two doses or one dose for Johnson recipients, for example – are valid for nine months from the date of their latest dose.
Travellers under the age of 18 who are vaccinated have no expiry date provided they have completed their initial vaccination regimen.
Travellers who have received J&J shots must wait two weeks, while all other vaccine recipients can travel straight after their vaccination.
Recovery certificates are accepted provided that they are issued by a nation’s government authorities and no more than 180 days have elapsed from the date of the first positive Covid-19 test, accepted in either print or digital form.
