FAQs
Are embassy pets exempt from microchipping requirements?
No. ISO-compliant microchipping is mandatory for most international pet travel. Diplomatic status does not override identification requirements. The microchip must be implanted before rabies vaccination in many jurisdictions to ensure validity.
Do diplomatic passports for owners affect pet import rules?
No. Pet import regulations are governed by animal health and biosecurity laws, not the owner’s diplomatic status. All embassy pet relocation must comply with veterinary and customs regulations of the destination country.
Is pre-travel quarantine ever required for embassy pet relocation?
Yes. Some countries require pre-export quarantine or mandatory waiting periods after rabies titre testing. These requirements apply equally to diplomatic relocations.
How are breed-specific restrictions handled in embassy pet transport?
Certain countries impose restrictions or bans on specific dog breeds. We conduct pre-move legal assessments to determine whether exemptions, permits, or additional compliance documentation are required.
Are there weight or size restrictions for diplomatic pet transport?
Yes. Aircraft type, airline policy, and cabin configuration may limit crate dimensions, combined pet weight, or number of animals transported. Private jet options may provide more flexibility but must still meet welfare standards.
