Pet Transportation from the UAE to Georgia
– Entry Requirements and Official Documents

Veterinary Entry Requirements for Georgia

Microchip Identification

Each pet must be identified with a microchip prior to travel. The chip must meet the following conditions:

• It must be implanted on or before the date of rabies vaccination.
• It must comply with ISO 11784/11785 standards to ensure compatibility with international scanners.

Rabies Vaccination

A valid rabies vaccination is mandatory and must be administered at least 21 days prior to travel. The vaccine is accepted only if:

• The microchip was inserted before or on the same day as the vaccination.
• The vaccine remains valid at the time of entry into Georgia.

Rabies Antibody Titer Test

All pets entering Georgia from the UAE must undergo a rabies antibody titer test. The following rules apply:

• The blood sample must be collected no earlier than 30 days after rabies vaccination.
• The test must be conducted in an officially approved veterinary laboratory in the UAE.
• The result must confirm an antibody level of at least 0.5 IU/ml.
• Once a valid result is obtained, the pet must wait a minimum of 3 months before entering Georgia.

Veterinary Health Certificate

An international veterinary certificate issued in English by an official government veterinarian is required. It must include:

• Microchip number and date of implantation.
• Rabies vaccination details, including date, manufacturer, batch number, and validity.
• Rabies titer test data – test date, laboratory details, and result.
• View the official certificate format .

Parasite Treatment

There is no legal requirement for deworming or external parasite treatment before entering Georgia. However, we strongly recommend treating your pet for internal and external parasites 5–10 days prior to travel to ensure comfort and hygiene.

Obtaining Export Permission and Veterinary Approval

Before traveling with a pet, it is necessary to obtain official export permission from the competent veterinary authority of the country of departure. This is the first and mandatory step in the entire relocation process.

• The export application is usually submitted through the official government veterinary portal or the authorized veterinary service of the country of departure: official veterinary authority portal
• You will need to provide your pet’s details, including the microchip number and vaccination records.
• All documents must be accurate and fully consistent, as any discrepancy may result in refusal at the border.
• After approval, an official export certificate is issued confirming that the animal meets the veterinary requirements for travel.
• This certificate is required for the subsequent issuance of an international veterinary certificate.

In most cases, the final veterinary certificate must be issued or endorsed by an official state veterinarian shortly before departure. It is strongly recommended to check the timelines in advance, as delays or incorrect documents may result in denied boarding or refusal of entry.

Final Checklist Before Travel

• Ensure the health certificate is completed in English and signed by an official veterinarian.
• Verify that the rabies vaccination is valid on the day of entry into Georgia.
• Allow sufficient time for the titer test and the required 3-month waiting period.
• Confirm all microchip, vaccination, and lab details are correctly listed on the certificate.
