Cyprus closes all visa centers in Russia

Cyprus has ceased operations of all its visa centers across Russia, effective June 15. The Cypriot Embassy announced that visa applications will now only be accepted directly at the consular department in Moscow, as well as at the general consulates located in St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, and Krasnodar. This change follows the expiration of the agreement with BLS International, the company that previously provided visa services, on June 13. The diplomatic mission stated it anticipates finding a new service provider in the near future.
