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 on a Turkish passport. Many Kurds—some of whom were aligned with the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK)—and other political dissidents subsequently paid high prices to obtain TRNC passports, which they then used to enter the UK visa-free and claim political asylum.[7]
