Entering Libya by Air

Pets may enter Libya via Tripoli International Airport. Pets can arrive in the cabin, as checked baggage or as air cargo.

All domestic dogs and cats must be free of evidence of disease communicable to humans when examined at the entry airport. If your dog or cat is not in apparent good health, further examination by a licensed veterinarian may be required at your expense.

Whenever your pet travels to a foreign country like Libya, it is always advisable to carry some form of identification indicating ownership of your pet.

Tripoli does not have a live animal storage facility so it is pertinent to expedite a quick clearance of animals upon arrival. We recommend that you use the services of an agent in Tripoli who will arrange to have a government veterinarian meet your incoming flight.

If your pet is not a dog, cat or ferret, and especially if it is a turtle or parrot, you should verify that it is not protected under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). You will need to apply for additional permits if this is the case. Over 180 countries participate and enforce CITES regulations.
