Id like to move my 2 cats from UK to Norway

25 10:08:03

Question
Hi, I live in Aberdeen, Scotland and have recently been offered a job in Bergen, Norway. I have read some conflicting advise on the procedures/timescale for getting the passport and when I could actually move them.  Could you please advise?

Answer
I am in USA and just do not know all the little intricacies of
travel from UK.  Norway is not a member of EU but I think they
follow most of the EU requirements.  Should not be a problem from
UK to Norway.  Check with DEFRA there in UK.  Also, contact a
Norweigian consulate.  Also, the airline you might travel on.
Quite possible you can take cats as excess baggage, but the airline
would advise you.  You should already have UK pet passport, do you
not?
Wish I could help more
