In 2025, the Cyprus Green Line recorded a total of 7.79 million crossings, marking a significant increase in passage through the line that separates the Greek and Turkish Cypriot areas. The European Commission reported this surge in their annual assessment of the Green Line regulation, noting that it included crossings by Greek Cypriots, Turkish Cypriots, EU citizens, and non-EU nationals.

The report also highlighted a decrease in irregular crossings, which fell to 2,433. This reduction is seen as part of ongoing efforts to manage border security and migration within the region. To facilitate the growing number of crossings, the European Union has funded expansion projects at the Agios Domettios/Metehan crossing point, one of the busiest on the island, aimed at increasing its capacity for travelers. The increased movement across the Green Line indicates a trend towards enhanced interaction between the communities on the island.
