Pet Transport to Cyprus

Dogs, cats and other pets moved with the right crate, the right paperwork and no surprises.

How this service is provided: Move to Cyprus is the enquiry and matching service. We select one independent regional removal company for your postcode. That company confirms what it can provide, arranges the survey and issues its own quotation, privacy notice and contractual terms.

For most families the pets are the part of the move that causes the most anxiety, and rightly so — the rules are fiddly and the consequences of getting them wrong are distressing. Cyprus is a straightforward destination if the sequence is followed correctly, but the sequence has hard deadlines built into it, some of which start months before you fly. A specialist provider can arrange the journey and, crucially, explain what needs to start now.

Start with your vet

The chain begins with a microchip, then a rabies vaccination given after the microchip, then a waiting period, then an animal health certificate issued within a narrow window before travel. Because the vaccination has to follow the microchip and the waiting period follows the vaccination, a pet that is not yet chipped cannot fly for some weeks. This is the single most common reason pet travel plans slip, so speak to your vet as soon as Cyprus is a serious plan.

Crates, comfort and the flight itself

Pets travel in IATA-compliant crates sized so the animal can stand, turn and lie down naturally. The appointed pet-transport provider supplies the correct crate and should encourage familiarisation at home before travel. It should book suitable routes and plan around extreme summer heat.

Arrival in Cyprus

Your pet is met on arrival, the documentation is presented to the Cypriot authorities, and they are released and delivered to you or to your accommodation. Cyprus does not routinely quarantine correctly documented pets arriving from the UK, which is precisely why the paperwork deserves care.
