How to properly export an animal from the TRNC territory?

You need to contact the state veterinary service office in your district (Veteriner Dairesi) with the animal 3 days before the expected departure date. The trigger word for a vet with poor English is "export".

At the clinic, you will be given a permit to cross the border. The document will be valid for 5 days. The cost is 80 lira.

What documents are needed to obtain a permit to export an animal:

• Pet passport;
• Certificate of rabies titer;
• It is recommended to have an import permit to the TRNC, obtained earlier.

The certificate will need to be presented at the airport check-in desk. The airline employee, together with the vet, will check everything and arrange for the animal's transportation.
