Pet Microchip

To enter Morocco, your pet must first be microchipped with an ISO 11784/11785 pet microchip that has 15 digits and is non-encrypted. If your pet's microchip is not ISO 11784/11785 compliant, you can bring your own microchip scanner.

Vaccinations

Your pet must be vaccinated for rabies between 21 days and 6 months prior to entering the country.

Rabies Titer Test

All pet dogs, cats and ferrets who do not have proof of residency in a country that is classified by the World Organization of Animal Health as rabies-free or rabies-controlled for at least 6 months prior to import should have a rabies titer test before entering Morocco. This test is also recommended for pets entering Morocco with their owners who have non-residency visas.

If entering Morocco from a high-rabies country, your pet will need a rabies titer test (FAVN). It should be administered more than 30 days after the primary rabies vaccination. The test must be administered between 3 and 12 months prior to import.

Health Certificate

A USDA (or CFIA) accredited veterinarian must then complete a Veterinary Certificate for Morocco 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 responsible for the import and export of animals should endorse the forms. Entry to Morocco must be within 3 days of government endorsemet. Your pet must also be inspected by a licensed veterinarian within 24 hours of import to Morocco.

If your pet is departing from the United States, after endorsement by the USDA State Veterinary Office, the Health Certificate and attached Rabies Certificate must be sent for authentication to the nearest Consulate of Morocco with a check for $33.00 and a postage-paid return envelope.

Your pet must also have another inspection by a licensed veterinarian within 24 hours of traveling to Morocco. This inspection should be included with the original certificate; however, it does not require endorsement.

Import Permit

An import permit is not required when entering Morocco with a personal pet.

Ticks and Tapeworm Treatment

A ticks and tapeworm treatment is not required prior to entering Morocco but is recommended due to availability of these products in the country.

Entering Morocco by Air

Pets must enter Morocco via Casablanca Mohammed V International Airport. Pets can enter in the cabin, as checked baggage or air cargo.

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

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.

Banned Breeds

Morocco bans pit bull breeds as well as other dangerous dog breeds.

Other Animals

Birds, invertebrates, tropical fish, reptiles, amphibia, mammals such as rodents and rabbits are not subject to requirements of rabies vaccination, but may have to meet other requirements and should have a health certificate to enter Morocco. Pet owners are strongly advised to seek further information from the relevant authority of their country and/or that of the country of destination.

CITES

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. .
