Pet Immigration Rules East Timor
REGULATIONS FOR TAKING A PET DOG OR CAT TO
EAST TIMOR
Most pets, including dogs, cats, and birds, can be brought into East
Timor with no quarantine period required.
You will need to present to the customs clearance officer an
East Timor Veterinary Certificate
from your veterinarian stating that the pet is in good
health and the vaccination record is current. The documents required should not more than 7 days old.
Notice: As of this writing, the most common routing for air
shipments to Dili is via Darwin, Australia. Although the pets would
only transit Australia, that country has very strict regulations
governing any animal landing on Australian soil.
Please check with your carrier to be certain they know how to handle
a pet transshipment via Australia, if this is the routing that you
will be taking.
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.
VETERINARY CERTIFICATE
All countries have a unique veterinary certificates. This form
differs from the International Veterinary Certificate issued by
veterinarians in the United States. (APHIS 7001)
