Pet Immigration Rules Nepal
REGULATIONS FOR TAKING A PET DOG OR CAT TO
Nepal
Nepal does not quarantine healthy pets who meet the following requirements:
ARRIVING BY AIR - Most flights into Nepal go through India with a
change of aircraft, so it is important to also comply with the
pet immigration rules
and regulations of India.
FROM ABROAD: Owners can transport up to 2 dogs or cats. You need a
veterinary certificate indicating that the animals are clinically
healthy and vaccinated against rabies. Vaccination must be performed
no earlier than 30 days and no more than 12 months before the
departure.
ACROSS THE BORDER: Before entering Nepal, you should have the
Nepal 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,
the Governing Authority of your country should endorse the forms. A
copy of the Rabies Certificate should also be included.

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)
