Upon arrival in the Northern Cyprus your passport is stamped with a three month visa.

Within that three month period you are to register with the Police Department and apply for a temporary residency permit.

You will then need to have a T.B. x-ray and Aids test.  Your permit will be granted for one year if your tests are negative.  Each year you will have to go through the same process although after a five-year period you may apply for permanent  residency to become a citizen.
