How do I bring my pet to the UAE as a newcomer?

To bring your pet to the UAE, you'll need to provide a health certificate, vaccination records, and pass a pet import permit from the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE). Typically, the costs can range from AED 1,000 to AED 3,000 depending on the pet's size, travel arrangements, and any additional services you might need. As someone who moved to Dubai in 2022 with my dog, I recommend starting the process at least 2-3 months before your move to ensure everything is in order. Pro tip: Always check the latest regulations, as they can change!
