Has anyone know the site you use to print pcr test in both languages please to cross the border, if still open?

As far as I know you can only get pdf printout with the rapid antigen test done at private labs, not the standard pcr test done by local belidiyers.

The website for results is

https://basvuru.lab.gov.ct.tr/

The website to book free rapid antigen test done at private labs is

I don't have a physical printer in TRNC so instead of printing I used the pdf option on the printer app/programme and got a print shop (Magic Touch)
to print off a the crap to cross borders

Have printed my free pcr test now thanks, that is all you need to cross.

That was all we needed to cross yes. We took the green cards but they only glanced at them on the GC side.

DieHard, Sorry to bother but can you confirm you were able to print off the FREE PCR test and NOT the free antigen test results? Thanks, still not got our results but see that 2 people were positive in Catalkoy today - wonder if it was us - lol.

Forgot to ask, did you receive an SMS after your free PCR test or just use the bar code sticker you were given at the test? Thanks.

At the Catalkoy Beli yesterday we took our tests and were given a bar code sticker. No SMS has been received so I input the bar code into the Gov web site and both were returned as NEGATIVE! So I guess that you would only receive an SMS should your test be returned as a POSITIVE. Good news for us on the negative side.

Now attempting to find out how you print off the results of the Free PCR test as DieHard has stated he/she did this yesterday? Also note that some are saying you can not do this so now somewhat confused. I can "Print Screen" but that only gives the result of the bar code and there is no information as to whom the bar code applies.

Anyone with further information would be most welcomed.

This is the link you need.

https://covid19.gov.ct.tr/

You enter the bar code that’s send to your mobile then you can save or print the pdf

OK once again.

There is a difference between the results of the free pcr test being done by local government and the rapid antigen test being done (for free) by an assigned private lab.

With the first via the website https://covid19.gov.ct.tr/ you just enter the barcode you are given and then you are given the result on screen but are NOT given a pdf download option for a printout that can be used at the crossings.

With the private lab rapid antigen test you will not be given a physical barcode but will be texted a barcode number soon after taking the test. when you enter this on the website you are then asked also for your ID number (passport number) and then you are given the result on screen and a pdf download option which can be printed out and used for crossing.

The website for results is the same but ONLY the rapid antigen test done at assigned private labs gives you the pdf download option. If you are getting tested in order to cross to the south you need to get a rapid antigen test done by pre assigned private labs and not the 'normal' pcr test being done by local belidiyers.

and again

With the pcr test done by local government you are physically given a barcode number when you take the test. These numbers start A00. When entered on the results website these give your result onscreen ONLY and without having to enter any further information. There is no pdf download option given with on screen results from these tests.

With the free rapid antigen test done by assigned private lab (use this website to get your assigned private lab https://basvuru.lab.gov.ct.tr/?signup=true ) you are NOT physically given a barcode at the time you take the test. You will be texted a barcode. These start X00. When you enter this on the results website you are then asked to provide your ID number and then you are presented with the result on screen AND given a pdf download option that can be used to cross to the south.

Oh dear God, I think if I was having to go through all this rigmarole I would have topped myself my now. Having checked on a few other Government web sites for other countries, purely out of interest, I can find no other where it is made so complicated for people wanting to enter. Its just utter madness.
