Hi
When we travel to Holland we usually ask the vet at the show to do the passport for us - they are very familiar with this, we take the tick treatment and wormer and the vet signs the papers. It does mean you have to jig travel time a wee bit however to meet the 24 - 48 hr timeframe which can be a pain.
Could you travel out on the Friday night ferry from Harwich to arrive Holland 7.45 am Saturday? I am sure you would be able to organise to see the vet at the show on Saturday afternoon = the late morning / early afternoon which would then cover you for return journey.
