How the days count
- Arrive in Cyprus on 1 June — that's day 1 (entry and exit days both count).
- Your last legal day is 29 August (day 90).
- Once those 90 days are used, every day counts back 180 days. After a full 90-day stay you need 90 days outside — the earliest date you could come back for another full 90-day stay is 28 November.
- Leaving and re-entering does not reset the count. Short trips in between still add up.
Notes
EU but not yet Schengen — uses its own 90/180 rolling rule.
If you overstay
Overstaying — even by a day or two — can mean fines, detention, deportation and a ban on coming back, and it can follow you on future visa applications. Penalties vary by country and by case, so confirm the current rules with the official source below.
