Cyprus Embassy Suspends Visa Services After Nasrallah’s Warning
The Cyprus embassy in Beirut closed its doors on Thursday in the wake of Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah’s war threat against the Mediterranean island nation.
“The Embassy of the Republic of Cyprus wishes to inform that the Consulate will not be receiving any visa applications or legalization on 20 June 2024. Passports and legalizations may be collected by showing the receipt issued by the Consulate upon the application for a visa,” read a message posted on the embassy’s X account.
It is still unclear whether this is linked to Nasrallah's statements against Cyprus or if it is just a temporary, one-day measure.
Deputy Speaker of the Parliament, Elias Bou Saab, told MTV channel that the Cypriot embassy has decided to suspend its visa services in order to review the fees, assuring that it will reopen its door on Friday.
