KAR Pet Travel will put your pets health, safety and welfare foremost and you will be assured of a professional service at all times.

As the TRNC is not part of the EU it cannot be included in the Pet Passport Travel Scheme (P.E.T.S.) therefore alternative documents are required.

 

IMPORT into the TRNC
  1. Your pet will need a current ‘Pet Passport’ with the Rabies vaccination done no less than 30 days prior to entry and no more than 12 months prior to entry. In addition your pet should have a Rabies Serology Titre Test PASS Certificate.
    Animals must also be vaccinated or given booster vaccinations for other infectious diseases –
    Dogs: Parvo, Distemper, Hepatitis, Leptospira
    Cats: Feline enteritis, feline influenza.
    Since Brexit, Pet Passports are no longer issued in the UK. Alternative documents are accepted, such as a completed vet book. We recommend that your pet’s blood sample for the rabies serology titre test is taken no less than  30 days following the rabies vaccination. Whilst this timescale is not a TRNC entry requirement it will help if you need to return your pet to the EU/UK.
  2. Pets should have a health examination 48 hours prior to export and will need a Health Certificate issued by APHA or by the authority in the Country of departure. Your own vet can help you with this.
  3. A TRNC issued Import Licence is also needed.

Any pet arriving who does not comply with all of the entry requirements will be subject to TRNC quarantine(at the owners expense)  and the owner may be fined.

EXPORT from the TRNC to UK/Europe

1) Your pet will need the following preparations:-

  • A 15 digit microchip for permanent identification.
  • Rabies Vaccinations
  • At least 30 days from the Rabies Vaccination a blood sample should be taken for the Rabies Serology Titre Test. This needs to be tested by an Approved Laboratory.

2)  After a successful Rabies Serological Test result your pet is permitted to travel 3 months from the date that the blood sample was taken.

3) Health Certificate (including compliance with linked 5 day flight regulation) will need to completed by the TRNC Official Veterinarian.

4) For Dogs – completion of Internal Parasite treatment prior to travel (no less than 24 hours and  no more than 120 hours of arrival in the UK (and some other Countries))

Providing all the entry requirements are met as advised above, then your pet will be allowed to enter the UK/Europe without any quarantine restrictions.
