What do I need to bring my pet to UAE?

To bring your pet to the UAE, you'll need an import permit and a health certificate from a vet. The import permit costs about AED 500 and is obtained through the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE). In my experience of relocating pets over the years, it's also crucial to ensure your pet is microchipped and vaccinated against rabies at least 21 days before flying. Pro tip: Start the paperwork early as it can take several weeks to get everything in order!
