If you are Indian and esp. travelling from India to Cyprus then just forget it. The immigration officials are rude and biased and give Indians a hard time and often send back many on the next flight home. An immigration officer did admit to me that he can't expect an Indian tourist to Cyprus, that all Indians are probable illegal job seekers. I have been there a couple of times and 4 out of 5 times I was given a horrible time. Wads of cash, credit cards, none of that will help you have it easy on arrival. Each time you feel you are going to be sent back. Once init's a different world altogether of course, they all want your money. Nice food, cheap booze and plenty of partying.
This 150 words bit is killing me so.......
