REGULATIONS FOR TAKING A PET DOG OR CAT TO MALAWI

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

You must obtain an Import Permit prior to entering Malawi.

Additionally, Malawi requires that your pet be vaccinated for rabies and various other diseases at least 30 days but not more than 12 months prior to travel. Then your veterinarian will complete the Malawi Veterinary Certificate not more than 14 days before travel. Although it is not required, we recommend that a USDA or CFIA licensed veterinarian complete the form and you have it endorsed by the USDA or CFIA if traveling from the United States or Canada. A copy of the Rabies Certificate should also be included. This completes your cat or dog passport for Malawi.

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

Pets entering the 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.
