Read 2021 – NEW RULES ON ENTRY TO NORTHERN CYPRUS (TRNC) – Advance Payment for Quarantine
Recently the Council of Ministers of TRNC has passed the regulation on the measures to be taken to stop the spreading of COVID-19 in Northern Cyprus.
As we all know, since the flights to Northern Cyprus resumed in July, the number of coronavirus cases rose rapidly. To prevent the “second wave” of the Covid-19 and a lockdown, the Council of Ministers has deemed appropriate to quarantine everyone who will come to Northern Cyprus from countries in Category B (including Turkey and UK) for 7-days.
The Ministry of Finance of Northern Cyprus will determinate the hotel where visitors will stay during the 7-days quarantine.
These visitors will not be able to self-quarantine at their homes.
The students who will come to Northern Cyprus from Category B countries will also be isolated in the dormitories or hotels determined by their universities. The students are exempt from quarantine fees.
To recall: The existing rules will continue to apply to visitors arriving in Northern Cyprus from Category A and C countries.Read more
However, some amendments have been made regarding to the duration of the PCR tests required from visitors when they are entering Northern Cyprus.
- Category A countries – the PCR tests have to be done 72 hours prior to the entry into the TRNC.
- Category B and C countries – the PCR tests have to be done within 0-120 hours before entry into the TRNC.
