Ok. Only theoretically .. Will have had a PCR test here before leaving here for the UK . Therefore hopefully not a threat to others.
The cost of the UK bit is 100 sterling as well as the Messing to find a drop box within a reasonable if not already bulging with others
Having to do this as vaccines are not accepted. However the PCR test here is .. how strange !.
Could yo fly to turkey as you would anyway from here. Then stay for a period of time required (no idea how long that is )
Then fly to the UK . Technically then coming from turkey we are classed as vaccinated?.

expert meds will give you a code and kit will be in UK on arrival [£27 day 2 kit ] and you put results in any post box

Will take a look . Many thanks but will need a day 2 and 8 as unvaccinated according to the rules

Many thanks. Have booked that £50 for 2 and 8 tests. Much better than randox at double the price and postage issues.

Sorry won't work because your vaccines are not administered in a Country that is recognised. I admit I thought about it myself but from what I understand you will not be allowed to fly unless you have the required proof of pre-paid tests in the UK.

To return to the UK you need a pre-booked test(s)
The reference number from the booked test(s) has to be entered into your UK passenger locator form before it will be registered .
The airline won't let you fly unless you have a completed passenger locator form.

I received this in an email today from the BRS.

During the meeting the Director was asked about the non-recognition by the UK Government of vaccinations administered in the North for travel purposes.

We were informed that currently there are no plans to add the TRNC to the list of accepted countries although that list is being updated regularly and we “MAY” be included in the future. It was asked if consideration could be given for the Sovereign Bases to administer the vaccinations for British expats as they do for their own staff and we were told that the BHC have already looked into this and confirmed that due to regulations and legislation, this was not an option.

So to clarify, although Turkey has been added to the list of accepted recorded vaccinations, the TRNC is being treated as a separate country and therefore any vaccinations/boosters administered in the North are not recognised by the UK for travel purposes. Quarantine rules apply.

Thanks for that but dont we need a day 2 AND 8 day test which I cannot find there?

Yes booked day2 and 8 kit for unvaccinsted on expert meds site. Just typed it in Google and it came up

I am not trying to be smart here however, I went onto the which site and they strongly recommended not to use expert meds, they said its not government approved anymore and the company has very poor reviews.

Expert meds have been removed from the UK list of approved suppliers.
