How to bring my pet to UAE: costs and documents needed?

To bring your pet to the UAE, you need to ensure they have a microchip, a rabies vaccination certificate, and an import permit from the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE). The total cost can vary but expect around AED 1,500 to AED 3,000 for documentation, vet visits, and transport. In my experience relocating my dog in 2021, I found that connecting with pet relocation services can simplify this process immensely. Important: Start the paperwork as early as possible to avoid delays!
