Why Should I Go With My ID Instead of My Passport?

  • It reduces the risk of visa rejection in the future: Since the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is a country that is not recognized by most countries, particularly Greece, having a TRNC stamp in your passport will reduce the likelihood of a positive result for the visas you apply for in the future (especially the Schengen visa). In order to avoid this, you can visit TRNC by using your ID card.
  • You do not pay for an international exit stamp: If you travel to TRNC with your passport, you must purchase an international exit stamp. Therefore, it will be more advantageous to use your ID card, especially for your travels that will not exceed 30 days.

It is very important that you do not lose this document during your trip. You should not lose this document, as the dates stamped on this document serve as evidence to check whether you have exceeded your travel time.
