Travelling to Oman with your pet? Swipe for the complete, verified checklist.
We’ve been receiving a lot of questions from pet owners about crossing the Oman border — and we’ve seen some incomplete information circulating on social media. So we checked every requirement against official Omani government sources to give you the facts.
Here’s what you actually need:
• ISO-compliant microchip (15-digit, registered)
• Rabies vaccination (30 days – 12 months old at entry)
• Core vaccinations: DHPPi + Lepto (dogs), TriCat (cats)
• Rabies titre test (RNATT/FAVN) — this is the step most people miss
• Oman veterinary import permit (applied for in advance)
• MOCCAE government health certificate (within 5 days of travel)
Important: these are largely longstanding Oman requirements, not new rules. And if you’re planning to travel onward from Oman to another country, be aware this can add 3–4 months to your pet’s journey.
Please don’t attempt the border crossing without proper documentation. Pets have been abandoned at the border by owners who arrived unprepared. Your pet is family — plan ahead.
We handle microchipping, vaccinations, rabies titre testing, and MOCCAE health certificates for pet travel.
We’re currently at capacity with confirmed pet travel cases and unable to take on new transport cases until after 22 March. As travel plans often change during this period, we kindly ask that clients contact us again after the Eid holiday so that we can assist based on your current situation and requirements. Enquiries received before that date will not be individually reviewed.
For pet transport and export enquiries (after Eid): [email protected] or [email protected]
For urgent veterinary matters unrelated to transport, contact us directly — Marina Village 02 665 0085 or Khalifa City 02 550 4111.
