Important timing for first EU entry

Your pet must meet the current microchip and rabies vaccination requirements before an AHC can be issued. Once issued, the certificate is valid for entry into the EU for 10 days, with the issue date counted as day 1. Requirements can change, so we confirm eligibility and timing when your appointment is booked.
