EU Pet Passports no longer valid for UK residents

[SimonM]

I went into my vet in Bruges and got Molly’s passport updated, rabies jab, worming tablets. €95 all in.

She then told me AHC are no longer required for exit from UK and the EU pet passport is sufficient, new rules in the last couple of days. If and when a new EU pet passport is required she is permitted to supply them to non-EU residents.

Good stuff . Keep a note of their details .
Though I have had some odd dealings with one or two Belgian vets . One insisted there was no requirement for the worming tablet . Filled in the passport , refused to take any money!

That's interesting. I like to think i have my finger on the pulse over this, but that's the first I've heard that. I'd suggest keeping her contact details quiet for now, just in case.

Umm, obviously that's not what the EU law has decided. If you arrive with an EU PP that's issued after the cut off date and you do not have EU residency in your own passport questions may be asked.

There needs to be a Guinea pig to test it. Not that Guinea pigs need a passport

See my previous post re Belgian vets .
They do appear to be a different breed

They do! But one does risk further scrutiny by border control, if they choose to flaunt the rules.
We have considered 'loaning' our new puppy to our French neighbours to get an EU PP for Safie, same risk though.

If the dog travels without the owner named on the pet passport, the person travelling with the dog is supposed to carry a declaration that the person named as the owner (in this case, your neighbour) will be reunited with the dog within five days.

Good luck to the EU authorities that try to check that though, especially for people travelling around in a motorhome!

Sounds as though it would work
