<p>There are no documentary requirements whatsoever for Northern Irish pets moving
to Great Britain and back to Northern Ireland. Pet owners in Great Britain will be
able to travel with their pets without costs, burdens or health treatments. For pet
owners visiting Northern Ireland from Great Britain, the only requirement will be
to confirm that the pet is microchipped and will not move into the EU. This will be
in the form of a travel document issued for the lifetime of a pet, available online
and electronically in a matter of minutes; or an equally seamless process built into
the booking process for a flight or ferry. This avoids cumbersome bureaucracy and
unnecessary checks, meaning efforts can be focused on real-world welfare, disease
or smuggling risks with checks on Great Britain-Northern Ireland movements, operating
on a risk and intelligence-led basis.</p>
