Hi Paul, Sorry to hijack- I was also looking into this so following to get updates. 

Am I correct in saying that with a rabies shot and all paperwork the dog doesn't need to stay in Quarantine? 

Also, can you advise on what the rough costs of transporting your dog are? 

 

Hope you get all of your questions answered and your dog is good to go! 

Hey there,

Yep that's right, from the quotes I have so far, the dog leaves the day before you do and  you can get them the day after you arrive. So far I have quotes for around $4K to $5K for a Maltese X Shitzu - so not a big dog. It ain't cheap!

Hey Guys,

I'm just starting the process of getting my dog over the UK. I know he needs to have his Rabies shot, but we went to fill in the TOR form and they are asking for a Pet Passport? Is this something in particular? Or is it just his shot details and vaccinations details etc?

Also can you fill in the form before he has the Rabies shot - they are asking for the details of that, so I'm assuming we need to get him sorted at the vet before completing the TIR from?

thanks for your help in advance.

You can open a multi-currency account in Australia which is probably just as good if not a lot more flexible.

I have an HSBC Everyday Global account. This can have up to 10 different foreign currencies linked to it.

So you just have a GBP sub account and transfer money into that at the time of your choosing and get the exchange rate on that day.

I have USD, EUR, GBP and NZD set up.

They are great for travelling. When in an overseas country just use the card and it automatically takes the money out of the local account.

Yeah I’ve thought about this kind of account. Do you know if Is it easy to transfer cash from the HSBC account to a UK account once you’re living in the UK? And if the money is in GBP in the HSBC account would you get charged fees for transferring to the UK account?

Hi there,

So I'm wondering if there's any bank in the UK who'll let you open a bank account without proof of residence? Ideally I'd like to open a UK account before moving there so I can move money across earlier, but it seems all banks require a UK address.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

thanks

Paul..

Pretty sure you do one form only as it is for the shipment not the person, if that makes sense. I can remember another member saying they did a form each and didn’t need to.

Do it as soon as you want. July isn’t that far away. You can put an approximate date for the move on it. When I did mine last year I had to put “live animal” in the subject line of the email and it gets done quicker.

Also use low res scans. The size of the email can only be a few mbs, it’s a pain. Unless they have increased it recently.

Good luck with the move!

Great thanks for that. Yeah that all makes sense. Here's hoping for a smooth move! Now if only this Brexit business would sort itself out.

Hi there,

I'm moving to the UK in early July (Aussie with Italian Passport) with my Wife (British Passport) and we are moving our dog over as well as a shared container of items.

A couple questions on the ToR form please.

Do both of us need to do the application or just one of of us? If both, do you do one application with both names or a seperate form each? Obviously my wife has the British passport so it would be best for her to do it if only 1 of us needs to be on the form.

Also, I know you need to do the form 3 weeks before leaving, but I like to to be organised. Is it too early to do it now for a July move?

thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.
