Pet Immigration Rules Bahrain

REGULATIONS FOR TAKING A PET DOG OR CAT TO BAHRAIN

Bahrain does not quarantine healthy pets who meet the following requirements:

You must first obtain an Import Permit prior to bringing your pet to Bahrain. Your pet must also be microchipped with a 15 digit ISO pet microchip. If your pet's microchip is not ISO 11784/11785 compliant, you can bring your own microchip scanner.

Dogs must be vaccinated against rabies, canine distemper, parvo, hepatitis and Leptospira. Cats must receive the rabies vaccine and the tri-cat vaccines.

The most recent of a minimum of two vaccinations for rabies must have taken place at least one month but not more than six months prior to travel. This rule would be different if you are having a Blood Titer Test done in order to avoid quarantine.

After the last vaccination, a USDA (or CFIA) accredited veterinarian must then complete the Bahrain Veterinary Certificate for endorsement by the USDA or CFIA if traveling from the United States or Canada. If you are traveling from another country, the Governmental Authority should endorse the forms. A copy of the Rabies Certificate should also be included. A Ticks & Tapeworm Test must be administered by your veterinarian just prior to travel.

Failure to comply with these regulations will mean that your pet may be refused entry and the relevant authority in consultation with an authorized veterinarian can decide to return the pet home, or place the pet in quarantine at the expense of the owner or natural person responsible for pet, or as a last resort, without financial compensation, put the pet down where the return trip home or quarantine cannot be arranged.

All other pets (birds, invertebrates, tropical fish, reptiles, amphibia, mammals such as rodents and rabbits) are not subject to the regulations in respect of the anti-rabies vaccination but may have to meet other requirements as to a limit on the number of animals and a certificate to accompany them in respect of other diseases. Pet owners are strongly advised to seek further information from the relevant authority of their country and/or that of the country of destination.
