It has been publicly announced by APHA (Animal & Plant Health Agency) that UK residents can no longer use their pet’s EU Passport for entry into any EU country.

This came into effect on 22nd April 2026.

You can still use your EU Passport to travel back into the UK if you are currently in Spain or France but this will be the final time.

In future you will have to obtain an Animal Health Certificate (AHC) from your Vet for each trip.

The AHC is only valid for 6 calendar months for 1 return journey. This has just been extended from 4 months. You must still make sure you don’t overstay your 90 days unless you have obtained a Visa for work. You still need to provide us with your 3 supporting documents, consent, your passport and your travel itinerary.

Don’t discard your EU Pet Passport, the rabies is still valid and can be transferred to the AHC: We need to see this in order to complete the forms.

In our experience, most UK Vets are unable to interpret the meaning of travel if using a licensed transporter and many Vets still don’t provide the service at all. We have encountered many problems and have been left to resolve all these issues hours away from the port and spending hours on the phone whilst pets are with the Vet. We have never left a pet behind and climbed mountains to ensure this has never happened.

We want to help you. We realise this is going to be very daunting for many and we can’t afford to have any clerical mistakes on the day of collection.

ProPaws is now able to offer you and your pets a fully inclusive service, taking all the stress and hassle away, ensuring you continue to enjoy your holidays in Spain and France.

We have collaborated with Dr. Christoph Reichman MRCVS, an expert in the veterinary field and AHC’s, and his practice in Ashford, Kent.

Our service includes :

• The completion of the preliminary forms by Tracey.
• Geoff will collect your pet/s on the usual departure day.
• All pets will have an appointment with Dr Chris at his practice in Kent.
• Dr Chris will examine your pets and issue the AHC.
• Geoff then makes his way to Dover with everything in order and according to the law.

Our fee for the AHC service 

• £190 for 1 pet
• £240 for 2 pets
• £290 for 3 pets

You can of course do this yourselves. We know many of you are IT savvy and have wonderful relationships with your vets. With the demand for AHC’s being at the highest we need to make sure nothing is rushed or left to the last minute and everything is correct. We cannot afford any mistakes or putting the other pets at risk of seizure at the port.

One of the most iconic club nights on the planet heads to  the coast this Friday, May 22. Disco, house and funk lovers on the coast have a serious reason to get out and party. Glitterbox, the world renowned party brand born out of Defected Records makes its debut appearance taking over Por Fin beach club in Estepona. Doors open at 5pm, with the party running through to the early hours ending at 12am. 

What is Glitterbox?

Launched in 2014 by Simon Dunmore, founder of house music institution Defected Records, Glitterbox has spent over a decade raising roofs with its feel-good house and disco music, sequins, feather boas, and a fiercely inclusive, judgement-free atmosphere, the brand built its reputation over time from long-running Friday night residencies in Ibiza, most recently at Amnesia and has since taken its dancefloor magic to cities across the globe.

Who’s playing?

Friday’s line-up is a belter. Roger Sanchez headlines, the Grammy Award-winning New York house legend whose remix of No Doubt’s Hella Good took home the Best Remixed Recording prize in 2003, and who is equally celebrated for his own UK number one, Another Chance. Joining him is Fat Tony, the London DJ with over 35 years behind the decks, Sunday Times-bestselling author, and long-time Glitterbox regular whose A-list admirers include Madonna and the Beckhams. Completing the trio is Ella Knight, a DJ, singer and songwriter whose soulful fusions of disco, house, garage and Afro rhythms have earned her sets at Boiler Room, Fabric and Glastonbury, and a growing association with the Defected family.

Tickets and VIP options

General admission tickets are priced between €55 and €65, with VIP beds and tables available from €500. For VIP reservations contact Por Fin directly via WhatsApp on +44 7763 544748. Tickets are on sale now via the Glitterbox website and Fatsoma.

What’s next for Glitterbox in Spain?

Friday’s Estepona date is just the beginning of Glitterbox and Defected’s Spanish summer. Glitterbox heads to Sonar Festival in Barcelona on Saturday, June 20, before Defected returns to the Marbella Arena on Friday, June 26 with DJ EZ, Eliza Rose, and Mele.

Music lovers will not want to miss this, book early and head over to this unforgettable event.
