Pet travel during the transition period
You can travel with your pet to the EU under the current pet travel rules using your current UK-issued EU pet passport.
If you’re travelling with your pet for the first time you’ll have to visit your vet to get a pet passport.
Pet travel from 1 January 2021
The UK will become a third country from 1 January 2021. Third countries can apply to the European Commission to be listed.
In the EU Pet Travel Scheme, there are 3 categorisations of third country:
- unlisted
- Part 1 listed
- Part 2 listed
Pet travel requirements will change depending on what category the UK becomes on 1 January 2021.
To make sure your pet is able to travel from the UK to the EU from 1 January 2021, you should contact your vet at least 4 months before travelling to get the latest advice.
