Exercise increased caution

Overview

There are more significant safety or security concerns than you would usually find in New Zealand. 

Petty crime can happen, particularly in urban and tourist areas.  

As New Zealand does not recognize the Turkish Cypriot administration, assistance to New Zealanders in the northern part of Cyprus is limited. 

Other things that New Zealanders travelling or living in Cyprus should be aware of are: 

  • Terrorism - keep aware of risks to safety and security by monitoring the media and follow the advice of local authorities
  • Natural disasters – earthquakes can happen. Follow the advice of local authorities.
  • Local laws – be aware of restrictions around border crossings, drugs and photography.
