Title: Taking dogs to Turkey
Post by: albaman on November 30, 2008, 16:28:10 PM
We are hoping to be in a position to be able to move to Calis Beach next year.

I would be grateful for advice on taking our 2 collies to Turkey.

I am waiting for info from DEFRA but just wondered if anyone has done this recently & how they went about it.

Cheers,

Dave

Hi Dave

If you look in the 'Moving to Turkey' section, there have been quite a lot of questions and answers on this. I have asked a few things myself.

Good luck !

We drove our dog over here in May 07. Needed Pet Passport, microchip and Defra Export license. Did not show any paperwork anywhere on the journey including landing off the ferry at Cesme.[:(!]
Frustrating and expensive but thats what you'll need to do.

When they have the rabies jabs, they also have to have a blood test a month or so later to see if the inoculation worked.  So don't leave it till the last minute.

Defra and our vet (who must be Defra registered) worked out all the timings for us so work with them and you'll find it easy.

Thanks to all for the information. One more question, can we bring 2 dogs plus 2 cats?

I think you will find that it is one animal per person, so for 4 pets, you should need 4 people travlling.

flew my ridgeback over with us from Manchester to Dalaman with Thomas Cook.  Used animal international who provided the crate etc.  Couldn,t fly Turkish as she wouldn,t fit through the hold.  My vet sorted everything to correspond with the date of departure.  All papers checked in Manchester then Dalaman.

we flew our two little ones from newcastle to dalaman with thomsons and used a pet cargo carrier to help us as said above you need to be careful with your timings as you only have a short window of time to get your pets out on their flight or you have to reapply to defra and you have to accompany them on the same flight if not then its a totally different scenario with applications to the turkish consulate etc best all round if you fly with your pets

1 pet per person, so 2 dogs needs 2 people travelling with them. NO you do not need residence permit to bring in your pets as explained before.

We have been told by our pet travel company that you can now take 2 pets each to Turkey. The two of us  are coming out in 3 weeks time with 2 dogs & one cat.

The vet record card for the pets has to be in your name, i.e. each person can have 2 animals registered in their name.

hi guys, another question for you...

I have a friend who has a place in turkey but wont move out there full time as she cant bear to leave her 2 dogs behind. I know she could take them with her but her problem is that she doesnt think that she'll be able to bring them back to the UK once she has taken them out there. She doesn't want to leave them in turkey for long periods of time if she decides to take a month or 2 back in the UK.

Is this the case or can they travel back with her whenever she chooses?

No, they'll need to go into quarantine for 6 months if they're returned to the UK.

Nigel,

You have asked this question about 10 times now. The answer is no you don't need a residency permit to bring pets. Firo answered about 4 replies earlier, and it has been answered in various topics over the weekend that you asked in. There is no need to ask every individual person that brought a pet.

Scunner,

I reckon you should close this thread. This fella has also emailed the same questions to me and received the same answers.
