90 days or whatever visa is given on entry and not the border hopping to the south that some do

A UK licence is only valid for one month after arrival in TRNC. After that you need a TRNC driving licence.

Two very different answers.

Does anyone know which is correct?

This question also interests me, as I spend over a month here at a time and haven't got a TRNC licence.

You can only get a driving licence once you have your temporary residence permit.

You only need to get a temporary residence permit if you intend to stop here more than 90 days.

If you are here as a tourist stopping no more than 90 days then your Uk licence is fine.

That's 2 to 1 in favour of what I thought to be correct.

I think you'll find they get for you is the forms for you to fill in at the start of the application process for your residency and driving licence. You've got many hoops to jump through before you get temporary residency, and thereafter you can apply for a driving licence.
