Pet Immigration Rules Gibraltar

EUROPEAN UNION (EU)REGULATIONS FOR TAKING A PET TO Gibraltar FROM WITHIN THE EU, OR FROM A COUNTRY WITH A LOW INCIDENCE OF RABIES.

Gibraltar does not quarantine healthy pets (cats, dogs and ferrets) who meet the following requirements:

Your pet must have an Import Permit for entry.

Additionally, your pet must have an ISO pet microchip and be vaccinated for rabies and various other diseases at least 30 days prior to travel and not more than one year prior to travel. If your pet' microchip is not ISO 11784/11785 compliant, you can bring your own microchip scanner.

Shortly prior to travel, a USDA (or CFIA) accredited veterinarian must then complete the bi-lingual Gibraltar EU998 Veterinary Certificate for endorsement by the USDA or CFIA if traveling from the United States or Canada. If you are not traveling from either of these countries, then the Governing Authority of your country should endorse the forms. A copy of the Rabies Certificate should also be included.

Pets entering Gibraltar from a country with a high incidence of rabies, must have a Blood Titer Test 1 month after vaccination and 3 months prior to departure.

RESTRICTIONS: Unvaccinated pets (dogs and cats only) under 3 months old may enter an EU Country, but there are additional regulations that must be met. Certain aggressive breeds of dogs are prohibited from entry.

Pets entering an EU Country for commercial purposes require additional forms and different rules apply.

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.
