Starting from June 15, applications for Cypriot visas will be accepted only at the consular section of the country’s embassy in Moscow and at the consulates general in St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, and Krasnodar.
This was reported by the Cypriot embassy in Russia.
The decision is linked to the fact that the contract with the service company BLS International expires on June 13, after which visa applications will no longer be accepted at the company’s local offices.
Applicants who submitted documents to BLS International visa centers before June 11, 2026, will need to collect their passports from the respective visa centers, the embassy said.
It added that a new contract with an external service provider is expected to be signed soon. Until then, applications must be submitted in person.
