I am Thai and I am now holding Germany working permit and want to travel to Cyprus within this few weeks. Does anyone know Cyprus already join the Schengen?

Thanks in advance for all info.

Unless you are an Eu citizen you need a visa to live and work in Cyprus.
As a Thai you would not automatically be allowed to work here.
Cyprus is not a Schengen country.

Thanks for your reply!

My company will manage all grant me working permit for next year but i just would love to be there next weekend to look around for the apartment.

I have Germany working Visa now but guess I do need to apply Cyprus Visa in order to travel next week... Thats really sad...

Since Cyprus already join EU they should have join Schengen as well

Its no problem for you to go to Cyprus for vacation if you already have a Shengen VISA. Even if Cyprus is not allowed to join Shengen for the moment they allow holders of a Shengen visa to visit without applying for Visa

Its clearly stated on the goverments webpage and my wife also went twice without visa because she hold a german Shengen visa

I know that it is possible to enter Cyprus from a schengen country if you hold a schengen visa. But does anyone know if I can enter cyprus directly from outside the schengen area? I hold a schengen visa but live in china. Can I fly to Cyprus directly without stopping in schengen country first?

If you have a German Schengen visa you are allowed to visit Cyprus without a Visa. But not work

If you are a non EU citizen outside the Schengan area you may go directly to Cyprus if you hold a valid Schengan visa which has been previously stamped proving entry to a Schengan country.
I know this for a fact to be correct information.
