Pet Relocation in Mozambique

Pets travel on a strict veterinary timetable. Start early, because the vaccination and testing sequence, not the flight, sets your earliest possible travel date.

The timeline works backwards

Microchipping, rabies vaccination, any required blood testing and the official health certificate must happen in a set order with minimum waiting periods between them. Working backwards from your travel date is the only reliable way to plan.

Permits and certificates

An import permit from the Mozambican veterinary authority and an official export health certificate from your origin country are both required. Requirements differ by country of origin, so we confirm the current checklist with the authorities rather than relying on a forum post.

Arrival and settling in

We arrange clearance at the airport, transfer to your home, and can introduce local veterinary practices, boarding and tick-borne disease prevention, which matters in coastal areas.

Frequently asked questions

How early should we start?

Several months before travel. Vaccination and testing intervals cannot be compressed, and a missed interval means a new waiting period.

Do pets go into quarantine?

Requirements depend on origin country and documentation. Complete, correctly timed paperwork is what avoids problems on arrival, so we verify the position for your route before you book.
