Cypriots travel: Expanding Travel Warnings
This move comes in addition to existing advisories against travelling to Iran and Gaza. The advisory concerning the Palestinian territories has also been revised to recommend against all travel to the West Bank.
Current Advisory Landscape
As a result of the escalating tensions in the region, the foreign ministry has taken a precautionary stance, urging Cypriots not only to refrain from travelling to these nations but also advising those currently in Iran to leave the country.

The ministry encourages all Cypriots residing or travelling in the Middle East to register their presence through the Connect2CY online platform. This initiative aims to keep citizens informed and connected in case of emergencies.
