Travelling the World with Pets: Understand Entry Restrictions

Do not search for one “banned list”; check species, origin, route and identity records.

A country name is not enough

Rules can differ by species, breed, origin, residency, personal travel, commercial transfer and transit.

Four restrictions to check

Check eligibility, accepted origin, microchip and vaccination records, antibody tests, certificates, waiting periods, permits, entry points, quarantine and carrier rules.

Do not promise one quarantine duration

Australia, Japan and Great Britain each have conditions that depend on route and documents. Read the official process for the actual journey.

Keep an updateable record

Record official pages, dates, conditions and replies. Confirm again before booking and departure.
