At present on Amber, with a test on the way out, and a minimum of 3 and possibly four tests on return, even at £50 that means a likely cost of £400 for the two of us. We are just hoping that the requirements are simplified later in the year.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12439046697203867701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4785675986457392622.post-71415888425855257472021-05-12T16:14:19.095+01:002021-05-12T16:14:19.095+01:00Jenny, the impact has varied depending on the gove...Jenny, the impact has varied depending on the government approach.

We on the other hand are waiting for our second jabs before we think of returning to the U.K. for a while.

We think we can get round the expense of the AHC's by getting French passports for Daisy and Hugo. It means starting from scratch with the rabies vaccination but would save a lot of money and paperwork if the AHC's remain necessary.<br />Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726164724131916224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4785675986457392622.post-39453130425016292442021-05-11T16:31:39.726+01:002021-05-11T16:31:39.726+01:00I have decided to go on amber - the costs are not ...I have decided to go on amber - the costs are not actually that different - even for green you need a PCR test on returning; it is effectively one additional test and five days isolation. They cost about £45.00 <br />In any event I'm not letting the extra costs stop me - in the scheme of things it minor. What will stop me is having to isolate or curfew in France - that I will wait to pass before going.<br />If you were to stay long enough even the tests and isolation would likely not apply by later this summer. <br />The pet certificate is a pain but there is talk of it being brought in line with the old passport scheme soon - an interesting alternative suggested by our vet if you travel often is to do it the other way round and get a French pet passport. mmm... hadn't thought of that. <br />Meanwhile I'm counting the weeks till I go - hopefully mid to late June for a short trip and then again in August.The bike shedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05195882998271591934noreply@blogger.com
