From today you will need a negative 72 Antigen test to cross internal checkpoints.
Unvaccinated people will NOT be able to enter:
INDOOR AREAS OF RESTAURANTS, TAVERNS, PATISSERIES, CAFES, COFFEE SHOPS/COFFEE HOUSES, CASINOS, BARS/ CLUBS, INDOOR FITNESS HALLS, CINEMAS, STADIUMS, INDOOR TEAM SPORTS AREAS, NIGHT CLUBS, GROUP DANCES / CEREMONIES, CONCERTS / THEATRES, WEDDINGS (WITH FOOD-COCKTAIL).

As from 29/11/2021
UK goes into RED: You will have to have been double vaccinated and had pre 72 hour Negative PCR test before arriving at RoC or TRNC. You will also have a 2nd PCR test on arrival.
Unvaccinated people will need to quarantine.

Crossed over to RoC from Metahan today, can confirm that Antigen Test result was requested along with AdaPass.

Soner, I believe that in order to cross borders you need a 7 day antigen test if fully vaccinated and 72 hours if not. Is that your understanding? Thanks

Correct.

Relative leaving us to go on to Dubai…
Fully vaccinated needs a PCR to travel to Dubai..

My question is…are the documentation of proof of vaccination status ..negative PCR and passport just required for crossing at the border..or is any other form of documentation required to cross from North to South..?
Thanks in advance.

Did they not have AdaPass on entry to TRNC? Anyway, They can cross North to South with Passport, Negative PCR and proof of double vaccination.

Confirmed..
To cross from North to South…Just need vaccination status..negative PCR..passport..
Much appreciated Soner…

Confusion reigns again (how unusual!)

From https://saglik.gov.ct.tr/TRAVEL-RULES U.K. and Ireland are in the RED category.

However LGC news (re: change of rules for visitors from ORANGE category visitors - https://lgcnews.com/rule-change-for-visitors-from-orange-cat-countries/) shows them as being ORANGE.

I presume LGC news has used an out-of-date table.

New rules in UK from 27 Nov 2021, as per Omicron Variant:

• Anyone arriving in the UK will be asked to take a PCR test for Covid-19 by the second day and must self-isolate until they provide a negative test.

• All contacts of people who do test positive with the suspected variant will have to self-isolate for 10 days.

• The rules on face coverings are changing. They will become compulsory on public transport and in shops from next week, but not including hospitality.

I'm a tad confused, for vaccinated folks from red country MOH has written that a test will be performed 72 hrs after entering the country. I'm not understanding their wording does that mean at Ercan or they need to go get one?

72 Negative PCR Test required before you enter country (TRNC). As I understand it, you may have another test done at port entry.
BTW, as per MoH, UK has moved from Red to Orange as from today 29/11/2021.

Ah ok, so its a chance of a test upon entry not an absolute! I know about uk now orange. Thanks for speedy reply, much appreciated.
