Being a Cypriot citizen is an advantage which entails a plethora
of benefits also deriving from the Membership of the Republic of
Cyprus in the European Union.
Travel Benefits
Amongst those benefits are the travel benefits that one may gain
as a Cypriot citizen. Travelling within the whole of the European
Union in any of the 27 Member States without the need of a visa is
certainly both an economic relief as well as extrication from
bureaucracy.
EU citizens enjoy extensive rights also by means of damages in
certain cases when they travel. For instance, according to the
directions of the European Commission in case of significant delays
the airline must provide with meals and refreshments, accommodation
and communication facilities and in case of a delay of more than 5
hours the airline should also offer to refund the ticket. Holders
of Cypriot driving licenses have the advantage of their license
being recognised in any of the Member States of the European
Union.
