pets into Trnc

[billywiz]

just a little bit of info, just had a quote from airpets to bring 2 dogs to larnaca from south wales. = £2500 so if you are thinking of bringing pets i hope youre going to stay a while.

[Mozgor]

Hi - we're bringing 2 cats over in October and are doing it ourselves. We're flying into Paphos only so they have as little flight time as possible cos they're elderly and the can fly directly from Glasgow to there (Larnaca flights were full for the date we wanted).

It's actually not that difficult to organise yourself and it is so much less expensive.

HI Mozgor
Just got off the phone to Thomas Cook they put me through to their cargo department, you were right ive got the cost down to £1130. airpets wanted £2562 plus vat just goes to show how much money they are making, if you are interested i spoke to a Lisa of a+a her number is 01784425303 she was really helpful many thanks

[Mozgor]

Thanks, we've already booked with Jet2 cos the Larnaca flight with Thomas Cook was already fully booked for 31st October. The thing is we as owners have to get all the pet passport paperwork organised anyway, so on top of that it's just the flights and relative veterinary stuff at Larnaca/Paphos and then a gain for TRNC.

Good luck with your move and I'm delighted you managed to save some money.

How do you then get your pet from South to north, i thought animals were not allowed to cross from one side to the other.

[billywiz]

you have to pay for a vetnenary person to come to the border to check your paper work to allow you entry with your pets. not to sure of the procedures yet more than likely it will change by the time we come back. i,ll let you all know how i get on.

We were given a contact Ann Bosley, who meets you and your pets at Sth cyprus a/ports and knows the admin, etc to get thru. the border into TRNC. She lives in TRNC

[gemini39]

How do you then get your pet from South to north, i thought animals were not allowed to cross from one side to the other.

Pets can be brought from the South to North with all the correct paperwork including a TRNC Import License that is on top of the Pet Passport in to the South, but legally then can not cross from North to South. To get in to TRNC the pet has to have a blood test 28 days after Rabies vacs that is sent off to lab in UK and providing it comes back at the immune level you then apply to Ministry here to have paperwork sent to UK vet and they do whatever necessary. Also various other things over and above the Pet Passport requirements for cats and dogs. Sadly I went through all of this 3 weeks ago and spoke to Mr Mehmet at the TRNC Vetenary Authorities to get papers sent to UK, only a couple of days later my poor cat was found to have terminal cancer in the UK and had to be put to sleep. So close to being reunited and yet so far, it broke my heart. He was a lovely Cream Smoke Persian but almost 16 years old, and yet only a few weeks earlier he had been checked over and was in fine health. Sadly it was never to be

[billywiz]

spoke to ann bosley today very helpful she knew all the answers i needed, if anyone is bringing animals over i suggest she is the one to talk to if you have any worries. piece of mind at last.

[billywiz]

Just an up date 2 weeks to go until i travel back with my 2 dogs. here are some of the costs i have had to pay it sound a lot but i have saved £1500 by doing it myself.

ANA Aviation(thomascook) £1245
2 no dog crates large/ medium £210
vets at larnaca = 50euros
vets at border = 200TL
Agent in the north =£100
Pet passports x2 =£300

Agent in the north has been a god send very experinced in bringing animals into the north, if you need any advise email and i will do my best to help. It can get confusing if you haven,t done this before and a little stressful.

[billywiz]

At last back in TRNC with 2 dogs in tow, no problems with customs or coming across from the south, vets were the worst pain in UK. All done if anyone needs advice email and i,ll be willing to help

I brought my dog and cat from Qatar, I used the Vets in Doha for the export and Ann for the import, she was brilliant, and her cost is not that much, she did all the paper work and all the leg work for me, she even drove my husband to LCA to collect them from their flight. I totally recommend this lady.

[billywiz]

same here Lor51 the woman is worth her wait in gold took all the stress out of it

[Lor51]

Glad to read that your all here safe and sound.

Hi,
First time I have posted anywhere so I apologise if the answer has already been given,, I am bringing my yorkie over in march 2014, I have started to organise his EU passport and my UK vet seems very confident he knows the procedure for the TRNC,, however do I need to be met by a TRNC vet at the border to ensure my passport and paperwork is in order for him to get in ?
Also does anybody know of any problems encountered at the Greek border going home.
Thanks in advance for anybodys help.

[belle]

God only knows why anyone would want to take a much loved pet to a country that poisons dogs.

[Owl Lady]

Belle sorry but you have one big chip on each shoulder.If you look after your dog and don't let it roam the street it should be ok.If you hate this country so much may I ask why you are still here???

[Owl Lady]

Is no one able to give Barry any answers to his questions?

[belle]

Owl lady tell that to the people who have had their dogs poisoned whilst out on WALKS WITH THEM.

[carolhm]

Welcome Barry

It might be an idea to start a new post on the main page , just so it gets noticed and some one may be able to answer your question .

Good luck

[Owl Lady]

thanks Carolhm
Belle ,you could always use a muzzle .

[carolhm]

muzzle , great idea

[belle]

A lot of dogs don't like muzzles, but then it isn't about the needs of the dog is it

[Hippocampus]

They can still get poisoned even when muzzled. Sniffing and licking is enough. Sadly, the only way to keep your dog safe is to walk him on a lead down the middle of the road. Not much fun for man nor beast.

fortunately Yorkies are small and are not so much in need of runs in the countryside. Knowing what I do now, I would not move to here with large, active dogs, but find somewhere where walks in the countryside are safe.

[ifonly]

Barry - why not contact KAR (kar@kyreniaanimalrescue.org or call 0090 5338694098) as they have up to date info on the process. They will give you advise about bringing your dog into TRNC via South Cyprus and also about bringing him into Ercan instead.
You cannot take pets from TRNC to South Cyprus to go "home" (UK).

[Mozgor]

Hi Barry

A TRNC vet has to meet you at the border to check all the paperwork is in order. We brought our cats over last year and Ann Bosley organised everything for us and picked us up. At what is already a stressful time, I can't recommend enough that you consider using Ann.

All you have to do is scan and email the Pet Passports and Rabies certificates and she'll organise the rest.

"Also does anybody know of any problems encountered at the Greek border going home. " - not really sure what you mean by this? When bringing your dog from south to north, you won't have any problems at the Greek border, but as I've said, need to be prepared to meet a TRNC vet before you can continue with your journey. However, if you mean the other way, you simply can't do that, no animals north to south I'm afraid.
