FORMALITIES

1.1. ENTRY VISAS

Cyprus is a full member of the European Union and we strongly advise all participants originating from countries which are not members of the European Union, to verify well in advance whether they need a visa for entry into Cyprus. The visas must be obtained from a Cyprus Embassy or Consulate abroad prior to arrival. The federation CSSF will be ready to supply to the participants applying for a visa, any necessary documentation.

No Siegen visas are acceptable in Cyprus, unless they have been activated prior to the arrival in Cyprus.

Detailed information regarding visas and formalities for entry into Cyprus can be found in the website of the Cyprus Ministry of Foreign Affairs, www.mfa.gov.cy, at the 'Consular Information" and "Travel Information for Foreign Visitors" subsections.
 

Non nominative invitation letter.

1.2. ENTRY VISAS FOR RUSSIAN SHOOTERS

Russian citizens/passport holders have to apply for entrance visa in advance before travelling to Cyprus from the Cypriot Ministry of Affairs (application for Visa) via the Cypriot Embassy.

All information are available on the website of the Cypriot Embassy in Moscow on this link.

2. SHOTGUN CUSTOMS CLEARANCE

Upon arrival at Larnaca or Paphos airports, shooters not holding an ‘European Firearms Certificate’ must present to customs (Red Channel) the completed official shotgun & ammunition form, in order to obtain a temporary shotgun import permit for the duration of their stay in Cyprus.

Shotgun & Ammunition Form

Shooters holding a ‘European Firearms Certificate’ should not fill in the official shotgun and ammunition form. They must present their Certificate at customs (Red Channel) and simply verify the serial numbers of their shotguns only.

The temporary shotgun import permits or the ‘European Firearms Certificates’ must be represented to customs at the special luggage office of the airport, at the time of departure after check-in.

IMPORTANT for all shooters (EU or non EU members)

The import of 12G Auto or Semi-Auto shotguns is prohibited in Cyprus.

Shooters, who intend to bring such shotguns for exclusive use at the competition, must contact the Cyprus Shooting Sport Federation at least 45 days before arrival in order to obtain a special shotgun import permit. The following documents must be submitted:

a) copy of passport;
b) copy of the ‘European Firearms Certificate’ (if any);
c) details of the shotgun (manufacturer, model and serial number);
d) a personal letter from the participant addressed to the Cyprus Police Authorities’ requesting the issue of a temporary shotgun import permit for participation at the competition;
e) a letter from the local club (or national federation) certifying the applicant’s membership with the club (or the federation) and his registration number. 

3. AMMUNITION

The custom authorities will allow all participating shooters to import with them all the necessary ammunition that will be used for the competition. Local made and imported cartridges (VICTORY, OLYMPIA, RC, B&P, CLEVER, FIOCCHI and others) will be available for sale at the shooting range at approximately €8.00 - €15.00 per box of 25.
