Post-Brexit travel: The SEVEN things to know before travelling

Pet visas

Under the current EU Passport scheme, cats, dogs and ferrets can travel freely between the UK and EU, providing pets have rabies injections, are microchipped and have a pet passport at least 21 days before travel.

The UK has submitted an application to the European Commission to join a system that enables animals with valid EU passports to travel with their owners between countries without having to quarantine.

But that hasn’t been confirmed yet, and until it has been, the Government suggests owners get in touch with vets four months before travel to ensure there’s enough time to send a blood sample to an EU approved testing lab.

For people travelling to the UK from the EU, Britain has said it will, for now, continue to accept the EU Pet Passport.
