Rules change. Entry rules for pets are set by each country and can change at short notice. This page was checked on 20 October 2026. Charter-A confirms the rules for your exact route and dates when you book, and you should always check the official source linked on the page.
Some national details were not available to us. We have checked the main requirements against official sources. We confirm the rest for your exact route and dates when you enquire.
What applies
- GOV.UK: export health certificate (EHC) and export application form (EXA) for each non-EU destination; official vet checks identification and health.
- Check the destination's rules, permits, approved airports and breed bans well ahead (some take 6+ months).
- A pet on a private flight needs permission to land at the specific airport.
Coming back to the UK
- Return depends on the country: Part 1 (AHC/passport/GB certificate), Part 2 (GB pet health certificate), not listed (GB certificate + blood test).
- Dogs: tapeworm treatment 24 hours to 5 days before arrival.
Good to know
Examples with their own strict systems (not yet confirmed: -): Australia, New Zealand, Japan.
Flying on a private charter means your pet stays with you in the cabin. We plan the arrival airport around the checks your route needs. See how it works or ask us for a quote.
