Is my German driving license valid in Northern Cyprus?

Generally, anyone with a valid driving license can drive in Northern Cyprus. However, with a foreign driving license, you can drive for up to three months. After that, you will need a Northern Cyprus (TRNC) driving license.

If you don’t have it after three months and you have an accident, your insurance will be void.

Once you have residency, you can apply for a TRNC driving license, which requires a driving test, vision test, and a small exam. We can connect you with someone to help you get your TRNC license easily. The cost is approximately €500 (as of December 2024).
