Do you mean have to .. or want to?.
Antigen application is done on line. You also put in your area and usually get one near you.
If you Have to go to The lab described then just go and ask.

A free rapid antigen testing service supplied by private laboratories, has been set up by the Ministry of Health, Yeniduzen reported.

The new system has been launched in response to the increasing demand for testing as transitions south across the border have increased.

Applications must be made online at https://basvuru.lab.gov.ct.tr/?signup=true

Those wanting a test will be directed to private laboratories in all districts. Test results can be obtained online from the Ministry of Health at https://basvuru.lab.gov.ct.tr/

The system has been installed to avoid crowding at testing centres, Nicosia PCR and Antigen Test Centres Specialist Filiz Uzun said.

Uzun said, “I have been observing that the numbers have increased in our centres in the last few days. There is no PCR obligation, especially for children who will receive a report card and those who will cross south. Antigen tests can also be made”, she said.

The Ministry of Health has agreements with 40 different laboratories.

Here is how to apply for a test:

Login to the Ministry of Health web page. https://saglik.gov.ct.tr/
Go to the Rapid Antigen Test Online Application option from the Online Services section and register on the page that opens.
https://basvuru.lab.gov.ct.tr/?signup=true

After registration, a password will be instantly sent to your mobile phone to continue the process. This password will login to the system.
After this entry, a User Code/Username and Password will be sent to the mobile phone again.
After re-entering the page online with the User Code/Username and Password sent to the mobile phone, you will be shown from which private laboratory you will test.
The test will be done free of charge by visiting to the relevant private laboratory.
This test result will be obtained from https://basvuru.lab.gov.ct.tr/

the result and a 'tracking / bar code' will be sent via sms to your phone. You can then enter this code on this website https://covid19.gov.ct.tr/ and if it is antigen then you get an option to view the result as pdf document which you can print off and use for crossing north to south.

When signing up to get an antigen test on the system, does the phone number you supply have to be a local one? When we went to the lemar pcr testing station to be released from quarantine, this was the case.

Did you have to get an appointment time or do you turn up ad- hoc?

Got ours done today at 10am, negative results via text at 1pm. Booked via Antigen test website on Friday. They wanted to see proof that we had booked plus they photocopied our passports.

I think they were overwhelmed and had a mixture of paid for PCR and free antigen tests to deal with. Maybe they were trying to reduce the numbers by not accepting walk-ins. I hadn't got a copy of my booking but fortunately they had WiFi and I logged in and showed them that I had booked.

We also had to fill in forms with name, surname, mother and father's forenames, phone number and address, don't really know why as all that info had already been recorded when registering online. They really should be able to use your kimlik/passport number to access all the relevant information, save on paper too.

Have you tried this site https://basvuru.lab.gov.ct.tr/

I think when I entered the verification code it then displayed the login screen (on my tablet) and texted me my username and password to my mobile. The only way I can get to a login screen is by using the above url but as I've had my test it only shows my results. Not sure what I would need to do to request another test in the future. Maybe it only allows booking of further tests when the most recent one expires.
