Egypt Pet Passport & Quarantine Information
Egypt is pet friendly and does not quarantine healthy pets.
You will need a standard International Veterinarian Health Certificate issued by a licensed veterinarian and signed in ink. The certificate should be signed not more than 14 days before your arrival in Egypt.
The certificate must then be stamped by the local USDA office if you are traveling from the United States. A copy of the certificate should be sent to the consulate office prior to travel.
Egypt now requires that the pet be micro chipped with the ISO 11784/11785 microchip that is a 15 digit non-encrypted microchip.
The certificate should state that the pet is healthy and free of parasites and has been vaccinated for distemper, hepatitis, Leptospirosis, parvovirus, canine Parainfluenza and rabies. The rabies vaccination should be given not less 30 than 30 days before travel and not more than 11 months.
You are required to keep the pet in your custody for the first 3 months you are in Egypt.
A small administrative fee may be charged upon your arrival.
Before departure You must take your pet to the quarantine office at the airport 48 hours before departure from Egypt where they will issue a new health certificate and permit to take the pet from the Country. There is a nominal fee charged for this service.
The forms and instructions for taking a pet into Egypt as well as the ISO microchip are available at the Pet Travel Store.
