In northern Cyprus, the EU regulations are suspended, and thus the right of EU citizens to receive care on the same terms as locally does not apply. In other words, the blue EU card from the Swedish Social Insurance Agency is not valid in northern Cyprus. We encourage all Swedes in northern Cyprus to ensure that they have travel insurance that covers care in northern Cyprus. If you do not have insurance, costs for medical care risk being very high.
