Can I bring Pets to France?

⚠️From outside the EU (except Andorra, Faroe Islands, Gibraltar, Greenland, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Monaco, San Marino, Switzerland and Vatican City): pets must enter through a designated travellers' point of entry, and the original animal health certificate (with certified vaccination records, any required titration report and the signed non-commercial declaration) must be presented for documentary and identity checks at the EU point of entry — when entering via France, to French customs on arrival for endorsement. EU pets returning to the EU may use their EU pet passport instead of the certificate only if, before leaving the EU, it recorded a rabies vaccination still valid on return and, unless returning from a country on the EU titration-exemption lists, a favourable titration test; if a rabies booster or titration test was done outside the EU, an animal health certificate signed by that country's official authorities is needed. From the ten countries/territories listed above: pets need not enter through a designated travellers' point of entry and are not subject to systematic documentary and identity checks at entry; a pet passport issued there can replace the certificate, and the health conditions still apply. If an authorised person travels instead of the owner, attach the owner's signed authorisation. Pets travelling without a titration test from a listed country via a non-listed country need a transit declaration signed by the owner or authorised person. From another EU country: travel with the EU pet passport; pets whose owner habitually resides in the non-EU country they came from may instead continue with the animal health certificate documented at EU entry while it is still valid.

Form needed: From another EU country: EU pet passport, or — for pets whose owner habitually resides in the non-EU country they came from — the still-valid animal health certificate documented at EU entry. From outside the EU: EU animal health certificate (Regulation (EU) 2026/705, Annex III) with signed non-commercial declaration; instead of the certificate, a qualifying EU pet passport for returning EU pets, or a pet passport issued in Andorra, Faroe Islands, Gibraltar, Greenland, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Monaco, San Marino, Switzerland or Vatican City. Where applicable: the owner's signed authorisation (authorised person travelling) and the signed transit declaration (Regulation (EU) 2026/705, Annex V Part 5)
