In the last few years, the United Arab Emirates have become a highly sought-after destination<\/strong>, now populated mainly by expats who remain fascinated by it thanks to the exponential economic growth and the multiple job and business opportunities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Bringing your dog or cat to the UAE is a fairly simple process<\/strong>, and provides different solutions based on the destination and the type of animal being transported.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is there to know?<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

UAE regulations require that animals traveling by air, are manifested as Cargo<\/strong>. This is especially the case of Dubai<\/strong> which is served from Italy with direct Emirates flights. Emirates does not allow passengers to bring their dog or cat on board<\/strong> (either in the cabin or in the hold).<\/p>\n

Abu Dhabi<\/strong> can instead be reached with direct Etihad flights. Etihad allows only and exclusively small pets (usually weighing less than 8kg) to travel in the cabin with passengers<\/strong>. We invite you to consult the Etihad website for all their rules that apply in this case.<\/p>\n

Whether your destination is Abu Dhabi or Dubai, in order to import your dog or cat into the United Arab Emirates you must obtain an Import Permit from the MOCCAE<\/strong>. Issuing this permit is a process that takes a few days.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What are the first steps?<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Veterinary training is very simple<\/strong>, and there are no particularly complex requirements.<\/p>\n

We start from the basic requirements<\/strong>, namely:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • microchip<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • anti-rabies vaccination<\/strong> with at least 21 days waiting period<\/li>\n
  • annual vaccinations<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

     <\/p>\n

    These are the minimum requirements to start planning your trip. The final steps will be defined when the departure date is confirmed.<\/p>\n

    We at AM Pet Movers advise those who need to move their dog or cat to the United Arab Emirates to start taking the first steps at least 8 weeks before the desired departure date<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    This way we will have plenty of time to check the documentation you have and indicate any gaps that need to be filled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
