I have been told that if you are visiting the South, not flying, the Antigen test is valid for 7 days? Could someone confirm this please as I want to visit my daughter and family in Paralimni and don't want to drive from Ozankoy only to be stopped at border.

Yes, 7 days if double vaccinated. Otherwise 72 hours.

Is this a new thing as vaccinated friends have been going regularly with only a pcr test

No, been like this for quite a while. Also noticed that when returning to North from South if double vaccinated AdaPass is sufficient, they never ask for Negative Antigen Test.

Trying to get out from next weekend with my sister. we both have an issue.
Mine is that i had covid at beginning of August and T&T said to not have another PCR test for 90 days. Would showing my NHS records showing that I Had it and what dates be enough? I am double vaccinated.
My sister had her second vaccination in January and is hoping for her booster this week. Is there a time limit for vaccinations in place?

I have copied this from the TRNC Gov website
https://saglik.gov.ct.tr/TRAVEL-RULES : "
People who have had the disease:
Submit a positive PCR test result taken between 30-180 days prior to travel. These people will be evaluated as vaccinated people."
This is still unclear, so I would suggest you contact the Ministry Of Health before you travel:
(0392) 228 31 73
(0392) 228 33 32
(0392) 228 59 36
(0392) 228 34 07

She should be fine providing she produces a 72 hour Negative PCR test result.

Thank you Soner. You have at least given me SOME hope.
