General Requirements for Entry into Georgia

Microchip Identification

All pets must be microchipped before traveling to Georgia. The microchip must:

  • Be implanted before or on the same day as the rabies vaccination.
  • Comply with ISO 11784/11785 standards for compatibility with international scanners.

Rabies Vaccination

The rabies vaccination must be valid at the time of entry into Georgia and administered at least 21 days before travel. The vaccination is valid only if:

  • The pet was microchipped before or on the same day as the vaccination.
  • The vaccine remains valid on the date of travel.

Rabies Antibody Titer Test

Georgia requires a rabies antibody titer test for pets traveling from Norway. The process includes:

  • A blood sample must be taken at least 30 days after the rabies vaccination.
  • The test must be conducted at an EU-accredited laboratory.
  • The test result must confirm an antibody level of ≥ 0.5 IU/ml.
  • After a positive result, the pet must wait at least 3 months before entering Georgia.

Veterinary Certificate for Georgia

The veterinary certificate is required for entry into Georgia and must be issued by a licensed veterinarian in Norway. It must include:

  • Microchip details (date of implantation, chip number).
  • Rabies vaccination information (date of vaccination, batch number, and validity).
  • Rabies titer test results (test date, laboratory details, and antibody level).

Deworming and External Parasite Treatment

Deworming and external parasite treatment are not mandatory for entry into Georgia but are strongly recommended for the pet’s health and comfort during travel.

Important Notes

  • Ensure that all required documents are completed accurately to avoid delays at the border.
  • The rabies titer test is a strict requirement; plan vaccinations and testing in advance.
  • While parasite treatment is not mandatory, it is recommended to avoid potential complications upon entry.
