How to emigrate with a pet to Armenia in 2023?

To enter the country you need documents for an animal. Armenia is a member of the Customs Union. Therefore, the certificate for the transport of animals to other countries is replaced by the certificate of the Customs Union.

It is issued in the state veterinary clinic. To issue a certificate, you need a passport of the animal and an analysis of feces for helminths.

To cross the border and live in Armenia with an animal, an International Veterinary Passport is required.

It contains key information about the animal:

• view;
• breed;
• floor;
• age;
• nickname;
• color;
• owner data.

Vaccine	Vaccination time
Rabies vaccine	Not later than 1 year and not earlier than three weeks before the intended departure
Treatment for worms	Not earlier than 5 days and not later than 24 hours before departure. Mandatory mark in the veterinary passport indicating the drug and the date of treatment

An analysis for the titer of antibodies to rabies is not needed to enter Armenia,
however it is obligatory if after you are going to visit the state
European Union.

Additionally, dogs, cats, ferrets and rabbits should be vaccinated as follows:

An animal traveling in the cabin can be checked in online in advance or on the day of departure at the airport. Keep in mind that each flight has a quota for the transport of animals, and there is a chance that you will not get into it. Large pets carried in baggage are checked in at the airport.
