This article gives the contact details of the High Commission of the Republic of Cyprus in New Delhi, the Indian cities where Cyprus has honorary consulates, and the facts on mobility, payments and business contacts recorded in the MEA bilateral brief of May 2026. Contact details and office holders are taken from the MEA Protocol Division register, read on 24 September 2026.

High Commission of the Republic of Cyprus, New Delhi

The head of mission listed in the register is H.E. Mr. Evagoras Vryonides, High Commissioner. Office holders change, and readers should confirm the name with the High Commission before addressing formal correspondence.

Honorary consulates

The register lists honorary consulates of Cyprus in Kolkata and Mumbai. It lists no career consulate of Cyprus in India, so the High Commission in New Delhi is the main office for consular matters. Readers who need to reach an honorary consulate should ask the High Commission for its current contact details.

National day

The national day of Cyprus is 1 October (Independence Day).

Visas and travel

The MEA brief of May 2026 contains no information on visa or e-visa requirements, fees or processing times, and no information on air connectivity between India and Cyprus. Travellers, students and workers should check current requirements with the High Commission of the Republic of Cyprus in New Delhi before making plans.

Migration and mobility

According to the MEA brief of May 2026, a Declaration of Intent on the Migration and Mobility Partnership Agreement (MMPA) was signed during the visit of EAM Dr. S. Jaishankar to Cyprus from 29-31 December 2022. The brief gives no further detail of its terms or of the categories of people it covers. Anyone planning to study or work in Cyprus should ask the High Commission how current rules apply to them.

As of April 2026, the brief puts the number of Indians living and working in Cyprus at around 15,500. India is represented in Cyprus by the High Commission of India in Nicosia.

Payments

On the sidelines of the Prime Minister's visit to Cyprus in June 2025, an MoU was signed to enable cross-border payments through India's Unified Payments Interface (UPI) system. The parties were NPCI International Payments Limited (NIPL), a subsidiary of the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), and Eurobank Cyprus, a subsidiary of Eurobank S.A. The brief records the signing of the MoU but not whether the service is in operation, so travellers should check with their bank or payment provider.

Business contacts in Indian cities

For companies in India, the brief records links between Cypriot chambers and Indian business bodies. The Cyprus Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI) has signed MoUs with the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), the Services Export Promotion Council (SEPC) and the Bombay Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI). Two regional chambers have partners in India:

  • the Limassol Chamber of Commerce and Industry signed an MoU with the Goa Chamber of Commerce and Industry in 2023
  • the Larnaca Chamber of Commerce and Industry signed an MoU with the Bangalore Chamber of Industry and Commerce in 2024

The Cyprus-India Business Association (CIBA) was established on 16 September 2005 under the auspices of the Cyprus Chamber of Commerce, to promote trade, investment and business partnerships between the two countries.

Honorary consuls

Honorary consuls have limited powers and do not offer the full range of services of the High Commission. Visa, passport and other consular requirements should always be confirmed with the High Commission of the Republic of Cyprus in New Delhi, whichever city the reader is in.
