Visa requirements for North Cyprus with a Refugee Travel Document
By Mahasti Nashvadian For Cyprus Apr 08,2026I am writing to inquire about the visa requirements for traveling to Northern Cyprus. I am currently residing in Canada and hold a Canadian refugee Travel Document. I am originally from Iran and have reliable documents on my status in Canada. Moreover, I am a professional Psychometrist and am working in a public school as an assistant teacher here in Canada.
I am planning to visit my daughter, who is a student in Northern Cyprus, and I would like to confirm whether I need to obtain a visa prior to my travel, or if I may be eligible for visa-free entry or a visa on arrival with my travel document.
In addition, I have traveled to Turkey with my Travel Document in August 2024.
I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide me with the necessary information or guide me on the appropriate steps I should take before planning my trip.
Thank you very much for your time and assistance.

Hello My name is David, As far as I know, the refugee Travel Document is sometimes not accepted the same way as an ordinary passport. Also, Iran might not be eligible in some cases. When I checked before for my sister, I saw that Iran was not eligible for the e-visa option. It would be better if you confirm directly with the embassy because they can guide you properly based on your travel document and status in Canada. I did the same when I needed clear information, and the embassy assisted with the correct details.
