EU tightens rules for Brits travelling to Europe with pets
"From April 22nd, new EU rules make EU Pet Passports invalid for owners officially residing in the UK, requiring an Animal Health Certificate for travel into the EU."
"UK nationals living in an EU country can still obtain an EU Pet Passport, but those with properties in the EU must now comply with stricter residency proof requirements."
"The duration of the Animal Health Certificate has been extended from four months to six, but it can only be used for a single trip."
New EU rules effective April 22nd invalidate EU Pet Passports for UK residents, requiring them to obtain an Animal Health Certificate for travel. This change addresses a loophole exploited by British second-home owners. Previously, EU Pet Passports could be issued to those living in the EU, but UK residents must now show proof of residency in the EU. The Animal Health Certificate's validity has been extended from four months to six, but it remains valid for only one trip. Additional rules clarify distinctions between personal pet travel and commercial animal transport.
