to Sweden from other EU countries.

(except UK, Ireland or Malta). Cats from Norway need no passport, treatments or permit.

When entering into Sweden you must show all necessary documents as follows:

  • a pet passport
  • identity marking
  • rabies vaccination, including the blood test result
    showing an approved level of rabies antibodies
  • *deworming against tapeworm,
    (does not concern cats coming from Finland/Åland).
  • customs declaration (At the border you must choose the “goods to declare"
    gate and inform the customs officials that you bring a dog or a cat. 

 * No more than ten days before you bring your cat to Sweden,
it must be dewormed against tapeworm (Echinococcus) by a veterinarian.
If you travel often between Denmark and Sweden,
you can use a so-called four-weeks certificate for the deworming.
