I want to travel to Cyprus (North Turkish Territory)?
I am a UK resident, so obviously I need a visa. I went online and I couldnt get any concrete info. Where is the embassy in UK? London? Also, how do I go about applying for this visa? I am visiting a friend, who lives in the Northern Turkish Area. Does that mean I have to get a visa from Turkey? or do I just get a visa for Cyprus (Including the South side) and then when I get there ( I understand everyone entering Cyprus must enter through the South, legally) and then travel North? Please help me with as much information. I am planning to stay for just eight days.
