More details: Visa requirements for Northern Cypriot citizens
Northern Cypriot passports are issued to citizens of the self-declared state of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) for the purpose of international travel.
The passport is valid in only a few countries in the world due to the limited international recognition of Northern Cyprus. A Northern Cypriot passport is valid in Anguilla,[2] Pakistan, Tanzania,[3] Turkey, Australia, the United Kingdom[4] and the United States.[5][6] Turkish Cypriots are also issued with Turkish passports.[7][8]
Until 1994 entry to the United Kingdom was easier on an "unrecognised" TRNC passport than a Turkish passport. Many Kurds whom some were aligned with the outlawed PKK, and political dissidents paid high prices to obtain TRNC passports which they used to enter the UK visa-free and claim asylum.[7]
