From the British High Commission Facebook page yesterday for those without FB:

“ Cyprus' Dept of Road Transport have issued a decree allowing British visitors and tourists to drive in #Cyprus using a UK driving licence.

If you're a resident and plan to stay in Cyprus for longer than 6 months, you must exchange your UK licence for a Cypriot one before 7/7/2021.”

Does anyone have access to the actual decree. Im interested to know if you still require an IDP for short trips of(say)3 months.

The answer is you can have any period or periods as long as they are under 6 months in any year.

We tend to err on the side of caution and carry an IDP when in Cyprus.
