Taking a dog or cat to Egypt from the UK
Travelling with a dog or cat from the UK to Egypt requires several steps to be completed in the correct order. The timing is particularly important because the final health examination and Export Health Certificate must be completed shortly before travel.
Step by step guide: Taking your cat or dog from the UK to Egypt
1
Microchip
Your pet must have an ISO-compliant microchip.
2
Rabies Vaccination
Rabies vaccination must be given more than 1 month and less than 12 months before travel.
3
Health Examination
Your pet must be examined by an Official Veterinarian within 96 hours of export.
4
Owner Declaration
A declaration must confirm your pet is being exported from the UK and has not been imported into the UK within the previous 6 months.
5
Export Health Certificate
Following the examination, the required EHC will be completed and certified by our Official Veterinarian.
6
Legalisation
The completed EHC must then be legalised in the UK and by the Egyptian Consulate before travel. Allow several working days for this process.
7
Ready to Travel
Once legalisation is complete, your pet is ready for their journey to Egypt.
