Pet Passport Hong Kong

Dog Passport Hong Kong

REGULATIONS FOR TAKING A PET DOG OR CAT TO HONG KONG FROM A RABIES FREE COUNTRY OR A COUNTRY WITH A LOW INCIDENCE OF RABIES.

NO QUARANTINE for Dogs and cats imported direct from United Kingdom, Ireland,
Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Guam.

NO QUARANTINE required for dogs and cats imported from some other countries including the United States if all conditions are met which relate to the age of the pet, how current the vaccinations are and the condition of the pet.

Dogs and cats should not be brought into Hong Kong (either to import or for trans shipment/transit) unless a Special Permit to do so is obtained in advance from their government.

Hong Kong also requires a 9 digit Avid microchip and vaccination no less than 30 days prior to travel. If your pet's microchip is not a 9 digit, your pet will be re-chipped with an Avid chip at the expense of the pet's owner or agent.

Your dog, cat or ferret must be vaccinated for rabies at least 30 days prior to entry into the country. A USDA (or CFIA) accredited veterinarian must then complete the Hong Kong 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. The veterinary certificate should be in a format that can be easily checked by the authorities and should be in the official language of Hong Kong or in English. A copy of the Rabies Certificate should also be included.

Bringing a pet from countries with a high incidence of rabies will require that the pet be quarantined.

Dogs and Cats may not be brought into Hong Kong if they are less than 5 months old.

These rules apply only to dogs, cats, and ferrets.
Note: England, Sweden and Ireland have different rules that require additional testing.
