It is advisable to contact the veterinary office as soon as you decide to bring your pet to North Cyprus. The veterinary office in Lefkosa must be informed of the date and time of arrival of the animal.

Dogs and cats from the European Union to North Cyprus require an import permit and will be subject to a 30 day quarantine period in the Government Quarantine Kennels based at Lefkosa.

Owners will be  expected to feed and clean their own pets in the quarantine kennels.

A DEFRA Export Health Certificate is required and must be signed by an LVI Veterinary Surgeon.

A residential address and telephone number is required before the airline will confirm the flight reservation for a pet.

Dogs and cats must have a rabies blood test prior to entry into Northern Cyprus.

Please be aware when deciding if you should send your pet to North Cyprus that at present the rules are that dogs and cats returning to the UK from Turkish Cyprus are not eligible for the Pet Passport System and so would be subject to the full 6 month quarantine period.
