No that is for the EU to enter from the UK ,which if nothing changes will be a 3rd country state. Same as at the moment returning into the EU fro Moroccoand that’s just the English side!
The 'AHC fitness to travel lasts 10 days.And just assuming that all is good and I get the health cert (AHC) how long is that certificate valid for?
See link as if using pet passport into the UK it isn't needed.
It still won't be needed to enter the UK after decenmber 31st 2020 if you have a pet passport & it is all up to date.My understanding is that the AHC will only be necessary if you return after 31/12/2020, and then only if UK becomes an 'unlisted' country for Pet Travel. Returning before that date; the usual Pet Passport is sufficient, assuming the rabies is up to date in the passport and the Tapeworm is done too.
Also, last time I looked (several months ago) the AHC give you 10 days to leave the country and it only lasts for 4 months from the date of issue?
Did I get that wrong?
It will only be necessarty to have one to enter the EU after that date.
Then again if you have a dog with an EU state pet passport they do not need the fitness to travel certificate only the Titre antibody pass certificate.
You are confusing 2 diferent certificates.I need to look into this further if it is you can only travel 10 days after the AHC is issued then how can you book anything, as you won't know if the jab has been successful. Or can the AHC be issued anytime after the antibody test has taken place?
Gosh this is complicated. This and the Schengen rules don't make life easy.
The Animal health certificate is also called the 'fitness to travel' certificate. This is needed to leave the UK & enter the EU.
The Titre anti-body test certificate has a infinite life as long as all the rabies, vaccinations etc ; are up to date.
To return to the UK only an in date ,up to date pet passport is necessary after 2020
News to me?The process in Europe is quicker (1 month instead of 3 months wait after successful blood test)
