so, we seem to be agreed that pets like cats and dogs need the whole passport thing, but a rat isnt a pet according to Spanish law, and just needs a spanish vet to say its rabies free, withing 5 days of arriving, since its coming from UK.?

Please get in touch with DEFRA, you may need more than you think, we brought a tortoise and fish when we came as well as dogs and we needed a lot of paperwork, wouldn't like to see your Ratty taken away, I love rats good luck xx

Ok, ive contacted a Spanish vet, and ive emailed DEFRA>
The spanish vet said
"The Pet passport is for Dogs cats and Ferrets.
Im assuming you are coming by car as Im not sure you can bring a pet rat on the airplane.
I dont believe there are any requirements for pet rats for travelling but you may have to call DEFRA in UK to make sure.
I dont believe they require microchipping or rabies vaccinations.
Perhaps some sort of identification book and a healthcertificate is all that is required for travel. "
Ill post the reply from DEFRA, when it arrives (may take 15 working days accto website) and then we will have a definitive answer for future reference.

And the reply from DEFRA is...
You may wish to contact the Spanish embassy for the requirements for rat travel as we only have the requirements for rabbits and rodents returning to the UK from the EU. The contact details for the embassy can be found in the link below:

Kind regards,
Hannah Hayes
and so to the Spanish Embassy...

Ok, So here is the definitive answer from the Spanish Embassy:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Further to your email of 23rd March regarding the above, please find below the link to Regulation 1/2014 on the importation of pet dogs, cats and ferrets from other member states.
http://www.mapama.gob.es/es/ganaderia/t ... 379813.pdf
According to the above-mentioned regulation, which includes the animal health requirements laid down by Regulation (EC) No. 576/2013 for the non-commercial movement of pet animals, basically, cats must be issued with an EU pet passport, microchipped and vaccinated against rabies.
With regard to the rat, pet rodents must travel accompanied by a health certificate conforming to the model INTRA-5 provided in the link below, which must be drawn up at least in Spanish and issued in the last 10 days.
http://www.mapama.gob.es/es/ganaderia/t ... 104918.pdf
In order to comply with said requirements, may we advise you to contact your local DEFRA (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) office, or the International Animal Health Division at DEFRA. Please find below the details.
Tel.: 0870 2411710
email: [email protected]
We trust this information is useful to you.
Regards,
Office for Agriculture, Fisheries, Food and the Environment
Embassy of Spain
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So there you go, the definitive answer is you need a health certificate filled in no more than 10 days (but it says 5 days on form) before arriving in Spain, in Spanish. I hope this forum will store this hard won nugget of information safely for future equiries, it wasnt easy to prize out the ground.
