Pet Immigration Rules Jamaica

REGULATIONS FOR TAKING A PET DOG OR CAT TO JAMAICA

Jamaica is a rabies free country. Currently dogs and cats are only allowed to travel to this Island from Great Britain, Northern Ireland and Eire. Pets from other countries may not enter Jamaica, as there are no quarantine facilities available on the island.

The importation of all live animals into Jamaica from these countries requires an import permit from the Veterinary Services Division of the Ministry of Agriculture PRIOR to arrival in Jamaica.

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 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.
