Taking your pet from Dubai to…
Each corridor page carries the dated sequence for that route, the documents, the costs, the airline options, the three ways that route usually fails, and the tool at the top. We publish a corridor only when every rule links to the destination authority’s own page.
[ quick answer · 2 september 2026 ]
Four corridors are live and fully sourced: the UK (no titre, 21-day vaccine wait, certificate within 10 days), India (Advance NOC 7 working days before, vaccine over 1 month old), the USA (CDC high-risk rules: titre from CVRL, 8 entry airports) and Australia (180 days after the titre sample, Melbourne only, 10-day minimum quarantine). Eight more are being verified.
Dubai → UK
The UAE is a listed country for Great Britain, so no rabies blood test is needed. The sequence is microchip, rabies vaccine, a 21-day wait, a Great Britain pet health certificate issued within 10 days of arrival, and for dogs a tapeworm treatment 24 to 120 hours before arrival. Pets arrive as cargo on an approved route.

Dubai → India
Pets enter India under the baggage rules through AQCS. The owner must qualify for Transfer of Residence (2 years abroad plus proof of relocation), apply for an Advance No Objection Certificate on the ATITHI 2.0 portal at least 7 working days before embarkation, and carry a microchip certificate, a rabies vaccination given more than 1 month and less than 12 months before travel, and an official health certificate. Healthy pets get the final NOC at the airport; a pet showing clinical signs is quarantined 15 days.

Dubai → Australia
The UAE is a Group 3 country for Australia. The pet cannot fly until at least 180 days after its rabies titre (RNATT) blood sample reaches the laboratory, the RNATT is valid for 12 months, and the import permit is valid until the RNATT expires. Arrival is Melbourne only, as manifested cargo, followed by a minimum 10-day stay at Mickleham if an official vet verified the pet’s identity before the blood draw, otherwise 30 days.

Dubai → USA
The CDC lists the United Arab Emirates as high-risk for dog rabies (list effective 15 April 2026). A UAE-vaccinated dog needs a microchip, a rabies serology titre from a CDC-approved lab (CVRL Dubai is approved) drawn at least 30 days after vaccination and at least 28 days before entry, a Certification of Foreign Rabies Vaccination and Microchip form endorsed by MOCCAE within 30 days of travel, a CDC Dog Import Form receipt, and a reservation at one of 8 airports with a CDC-registered animal care facility. Without a valid titre the dog is quarantined 28 days at your cost. Cats have no CDC rabies requirement federally.

Dubai → Philippines
The Philippines issues a Sanitary and Phytosanitary Import Clearance (SPSIC) online, valid 60 days. The pet must be at least 120 days old at application, ISO-microchipped, rabies-vaccinated at least 14 days before the application (a booster ships immediately), current on core vaccines given at least 14 days before, treated for parasites between 7 and 91 days before, and accompanied by a veterinary health certificate issued within 10 days of departure. Up to three animals; no quarantine when the papers are in order; fees are paid at the airport quarantine office.
Dubai → Canada
Canada asks for less than most: a rabies vaccination certificate in English or French from a licensed vet that clearly identifies the animal, or a rabies titre of at least 0.5 IU/ml drawn at least 30 days after vaccination. Cats and dogs under three months are exempt. No post-import quarantine for personal pets. The commercial-dog ban from dog-rabies high-risk countries does not apply to a personal pet travelling with its owner, but the distinction is the CFIA's to make at the border.
Dubai → Germany
The United Arab Emirates is listed in Part 2 of the EU list, so no rabies titre is needed for Germany. The sequence is microchip, rabies vaccine at 12 weeks or older and after the chip, a 21-day wait, an EU animal health certificate issued by an official or authorised vet and endorsed by MOCCAE within 10 days of the entry checks, a written declaration that the pet is not being sold, entry through a designated travellers' point of entry, and no more than five animals. No tapeworm treatment for Germany.
Dubai → Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia works through the Anaam platform of the Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture: register, apply for an import permit valid 30 days, attach the pet's identification with its microchip number, its vaccination record and a governmental health certificate from the UAE. Individuals may import two cats or two dogs every six months; the importer of a dog must be at least 30; pets must be at least four months old; Rottweiler, Boxer, Mastiff, Tosa, Bulldog and Perro de Presa Canario and their crosses are refused.
