After speaking to the vet, we where even more confused. The Export Certificate cannot be issued until 96 hours before she travels, as the vet has to give her the all clear to fly. But this export certificate has to be sent to London to be stamped and returned before we can fly.
We fly on a thurs, so the final vet check can be carried out on the monday morning.
If we send the paperwork by next day delivery, the embassy would get it on tues morning. The embassy told me that it would take 3 working days to process. Some how the figures just don't add up!!
Has anyone had this problem before?
If we do arrive in Hurghada with all the correct paperwork but it not stamped by the consulate, what is likely to happen?
Any advice would be greatly apprecaited.

Hi Lyndsay, my friend that shipped her dogs to the Carribean had the same problems. You do have to use the services of a courier to get the paperwork to you. This apparently has to go to the vets. The cost was £100 for a 150 mile trip. She found the courier through directory enquiries.
