Just thought it should be publicised as widely as possible as it may well have caught us out without he above thread - mods feel free to delete if thread duplication is not allowed.

We travelled this morning with both and got there early. No chaos and the fingerprint system isn't on yet.

Even the woman in pet reception didn't seem to know which to use between the AHC and EU Pet Passport and was very vague on what the process is.

So it's as clear as mud right now. Apparently it has been reported on breakfast TV, so feels like travelling without an AHC would be a risk but we certainly spoke to people in Folkestone yesterday who were taking that risk. No idea of outcome.

Any idea on what the definition of an EU resident is?

Is it someone with an EU issued passport or someone who is fully resident in the EU?

It’s not a trick question.

Another scam to rinse pet owners.

I'm not sure it is, at all. Who do you believe is behind the scam?
