Pets
The purchase of a property in Cyprus can mean a new home for both the owners and their pets. Since Cyprus’ entry into Europe in May 2004 The Pet Travel Scheme has been adopted. This will mean that registered animals are now allowed to travel freely from one European country to another.
The Pet Travel Scheme (PETS) is the system that allows people in the UK can take their pets to other European Union (EU) countries, and return with them to the UK. The Scheme applies to cats, dogs, rodents, ferrets and other pets. To enter other European Union (EU) countries from the UK you should get your pet microchipped and vaccinated against rabies. You should then obtain an EU pet passport.
The passport must confirm your pet’s microhip number and date the microchip was inserted and the rabies vaccination. It can then be issued for travel to most other EU countries.
In Great Britain, the passport is issued by a government-authorised vet known as a local Veterinary Inspector (LVI). DEFRA does not charge vets for the passport.
