On the general side the requirements are the following:

I also remind you, that the requirements to leave or enter a country vary from nation to nation, Therefore, it is important to consult directly with the control entities of the case to avoid problems with our furry babies..
- Note: It was not specified if this also applies to crossing land borders..
Usually, the rest of the process continues without major changes, You can use this tutorial that I did some time ago where I leave you some additional recommendations with my experience and my cat.:
