TRNC plans to relax travel requirements

The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) Higher Committee for Infectious Diseases has announced new planned changes to anyone entering the country.

Saying: “Rapid tests or Lateral Flow Tests (LFT) will also be sufficient for entry into the country. Persons who are fully vaccinated or who have recovered from Covid-19 will be allowed to enter the TRNC without the need for quarantine on the condition they present a negative PCR test carried out in the last 72 hours or a rapid test/LFT test carried out in the last 24 hours. While unvaccinated individuals will also be required to present a negative PCR test carried out in the last 72 hours or a rapid test/LFT carried out in the last 24 hours, such persons will be required to remain in quarantine for five days following entry.”

Adding that starting next month that a test will not be required before entry for anyone that has received their second vaccine within the last 9 months.

“As of March 1, 2022, people who have passed 14 days after their second vaccine (single dose for Johnson & Johnson) who have not exceeded nine months since completing their vaccination regiment will be allowed to enter the country without the need to present a negative PCR/rapid test.

“Fully vaccinated persons who have received a booster shot nine months (270 days) after their first two doses or single-dose vaccine (J&J) will also be exempt from the PCR/rapid test requirement.”

Starting for March 1, a 9 month period would mean any person that has received their second vaccine from May 30 2021 onwards.

Travellers that also have tested positive for covid within the last 6 months will also no need to have a test done “Persons who have recovered from Covid-19 will be allowed to enter the country without a PCR /rapid test requirement starting from the 10th day of testing positive for up to 180 days.”
