The British Overseas Territories maintain their own entry requirements different from the visa policy of the United Kingdom. As a general rule, British citizens do not have automatic right of abode in these territories.
Akrotiri and Dhekelia
The visa policy of Akrotiri and Dhekelia is the same as for Cyprus, which follows the visa policy of the Schengen Area.[1] However, stays longer than 28 days per 12-month period require a permit.[2] The territory has open borders with Cyprus, but controls entry from Northern Cyprus.[3]
