international permit

Question
Hello,

I am planning to buy/adapt 2 Schnoodle/Havanese in Florida for my kids in
Turks & Caicos Islands. But I saw on petfinder.com that I would need to
acquire an International Permit to travel with pets. How do I go about getting
one, and how long does it take to get, as I will only be in Florida for 2-3days.
Please advise?

Answer
Hi Jasett,

It's hard to say how long it will take to get your permit. You'll have to speak to the authorities at Turks and Caicos to find out what their requirements are and how long it takes to process the paperwork.

I had some trouble finding information specific to your situation on the web but the following contacts should know the answers.
