Joob joobs Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Hi My visa was granted yesterday and we're hoping to fly Oakley out before the changes on 1st Jan 2010. But I'm waiting on the import permit which I applied for last week, we can't book his flights/quarantine until we have this and I am worried about Sydney quarantine station being full when it comes to the point that we can actually book it. So, I'm thinking that I'll take him to the vet tonight to get his rabies jab just in case we can't make it out there before the rule changes come in to play. What I'm worried about is whether the fact that he has the rabies vaccs now, would that have any bearing on him being able to fly out before 1st Jan? I don't think it would but o/h has been questioning it and I just want to make sure! Thanks Julie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Pom Queen Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Hi Julie, you could always look at the other quarantine stations if Sydney is full. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobPetairUK Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Joobs You can book a flight before the permit comes back, your agent should tell you that. If you have not got a flight date get one soon, practically no flights left in December now and few at end of November. Currently Perth is full before Jan 2012, Melbourne is going to be full very soon, so Sydney is left and has never been filled yet, but we are all in trouble if it does. Getting the rabies vaccination done now is sensible as a back up and will not stop Oakley from travelling before Jan 2012 whatever you do and whoever you do it with - do it fast!

Joob joobs Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 Thanks Bob. Maybe I picked them up wrong but I took it to be that we had to wait on the permit coming through. I'll get in touch with them again quick smart and hopefully get this sorted for before the 2012 changes. Thanks again! Julie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoandJon Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I think You need the permit to book quarantine, but not for flights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiamilo Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Hi, I spoke to the pet shippers a couple of days ago to sort our cat out for transit in December and he was more worried about the flight in December than the quarintine in Sydney so yes get the flight booked soon if you want your cat to go out then. As far as I could tell Sydeny is quite a big quarantine station so no problems with that bit so far!! Good Luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
