Travel with pets - import-/export regulations

Here you find the offiial links to the mentioned countries about the regulations to travel with a pet. Keep in mind: Check these links in time!! If you need bloodtests it will take at least 3 months to get everything ready (FAVN for example). If you need to re-new the vaccinations before the bloodsample can be taken even more.


Basic overview about what you need for crossing borders with a pet:


  • your pet must be marked (microchip)
  • animal identification document (passport or certificate)
  • vaccination against rabies
  • depending of country rules: anti-rabies antibody titration test (FAVN)

(For EU countries: If you do the test outside the European Union it will take 3 months after the test to be allowed to enter Europe again. This "waiting time" can be avoided if you do the test at home/inside the EU.

  • for some countries additional bloodtests
  • for some countries additional treatments (i.e. tapeworm)
  • take care about regulations of dangerous dog breeds

With all these papers you normally need to go to a vet to get an actual health certification and with this health certification you can apply for export papers from the official office if needed.


  • depending from where you were coming: defined points of entry
  • max. 5 animals per persons
  • in case you are flying: check airline guidelines and take care about restrictions of brachycephalic breeds. Dangerous dog breeds have special requirements, too.
