What do I need to bring my pet to the UAE?

To bring your pet to the UAE, you'll need a few key documents, including a pet passport, vaccination records, and an import permit from the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE). Fees for the import permit can range from AED 200 to AED 400, depending on the type of pet. As someone who moved to Dubai in 2022 with my dog, I found that starting the process early, at least 3-6 months in advance, helped reduce stress and ensured a smooth relocation. Pro tip: Check with your airline as they often have specific requirements for pet travel.
