Question:
I have two dogs and a cat and may have the option to move to the Falkland Islands for approx 12 months from Belfast. How would I go about this stress free for my animals and do I need a pet passport for both entry and exit of the destination?
Answer:
Hello Karen, and thank you for your inquiry.
The Falkland Islands can be rather difficult to get to. An import license is required, as is a current health certificate. You'll have to give notice that you plan on entering the country to the Department of Agriculture in the Falklands ahead of time, as it is is mandatory.
With regards to arranging the move so that it would be stress free for you & your pets, PetRelocation.com could certainly assist you in arranging the door to door relocation. Your pets would need to fly from Ireland to Santiago, Chile and then be cleared through customs in Chile. From there, they'll need to get on a plane from Chile to Ft. Stanley. This kind of relocation could be quite expensive (over $5000 USD), so for a 12-month temporary move to the Falklands, your best bet might be leaving your pets behind with a friend or family member in Belfast.
The good news is that if you do end up taking them, upon re-entering Ireland, your pets will not be subject to any sort of quarantine period.
If you'd like for us to arrange their door to door relocation, please feel free to contact us directly at PetRelocation.com. Cheers!
