How long can you drive on a full British driving licence in North Cyprus before applying for a TRNC licence.

We do not have a temporary resident visa and are not likely to stay more than the 90 days on any visit.

Thanks for any helpful comments.

It's a year! But if you leave the country the year starts again

I thought is was a year but during a routine road side check the police said only three months. After that your insurance becomes invalid.

I think the problem arises when you drive a trnc registered car with a uk licence. The insurance is not valid after three months.
