Pet Immigration Rules Bermuda

REGULATIONS FOR TAKING A PET DOG OR CAT TO BERMUDA

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

Pets arriving in Bermuda must be accompanied by an Import Permit issued by the Bermuda Department of Agriculture & Fisheries. Without this permit, the pet will be denied entry, as there are no quarantine facilities in Bermuda. Pets must be at least 10 months old unless they are arriving from the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Jamaica or Australia.

You must file the application for permit not less than 10 days prior to arrival and the Veterinary Health Certificate for Bermuda must have been issued within 10 days prior to arrival.

It is suggested you fax the application (completed veterinary certificate) to assure speedy delivery. A permit will be faxed back to you with 2 to 3 working days.

Your pet needs to have 2 vaccinations for rabies, one after the age of 3 months and the other between 6 and 12 months of the first vaccination. The latest vaccination must be given to your pet not less than 30 days prior and not more than 12 months prior to your arrival in Bermuda. Rabies vaccinations are not required if the pet is arriving from the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand or Jamaica.

Failure to comply with these regulations will mean that your pet may be refused entry and that 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.
