I brought my two cats into Australia.... I did it the easy way (used a pet importer/mover, they did all the paperwork for me), so I can't help you with the exact forms which you need to get.


But , you might find this link helpful... it's the Aussie government quaranteen/importation of live animals/pets etc. There are links in the site to global contacts etc, if you want to try and find what you are looking for.

I came from Singapore to Australia where I was working. There are a few pet movers over there. I just found them in the yellow pages, under pets I think. I assume there's got to be something like it in Europe. Perhaps your best would be to ask your local vet, or phone up your quaranteen place in your country and ask their advice.
The pet movers did all the work for me, including taking the animals for blood tests and micro chipping... I think I paid them around a thousand Singapore dollars for each cat, which is about 400 pounds at the time (blood, micro chips, and all the paperwork). I think including the flight it was close to two grand per cat (sing dollars).

cheers

Hi Myriam

We used Airpets from London (www.airpets.co.uk). I'd recommend them; it all happened with the minimum of fuss and disruption. Yes, you pay a bit more but we had enough to worry about on the day without taking the pussy to the cargo check in at Heathrow then fretting about meeting her and putting her through immigration etc in Sydney.
