New limitations on visiting Northern Cyprus?

It sounds like they’re simply becoming more serious about it.

If, if a non-EU citizen enters the TRNC and crosses over to the ROC, then, if leaving the island through a ROC airport, usually the TRNC stamp will merely be crossed out and replaced with a retroactive ROC entry stamp.

However, formally a non-EU citizen entering the TRNC can be heavily penalised by ROC authorities, and like I said, it seems they’re going to enforce it more consistently.

UPDATE: Called the police at Larnaca airport again, and this time I was told that if a non-EU/EFTA citizen intends to visit Northern Cyprus, they must show that the booked hotel isn’t a formerly Greek Cypriot owned hotel that’s being “exploited”, or they will be refused entry. This may also be requested when re-entering the ROC from the TRNC if stopped for a spot check.
