Taking Your pets to Singapore

Singapore is one of the 3 remaining true city-states and is a popular destination for many of our financial services clients.

There is a 30 day quarantine period to contend with and it is important to reserve space as soon as possible. Space fills up quickly and often the wait for space can reach 90 days. Often times we are able to expedite the process soplease let us know if you need any help and we will get the paperwork started for you.

The requirements are as follows:

1) Microchip: Each pet needs a microchip. The rules state a ISO microchip is required, however we have not had issues with standard AVID and Home Again chips.

2) Rabies Vaccination & Certificate: You have to have the original rabies certificate and it must be within 30 days and a year of travel. 3 year vaccines are not acceptable.

3) Other Vaccinations: All pets must also have distemper vaccines. For dogs DHLPP will be sufficient and for cats FVRCP is recommended. Also cats must be vaccinated against Chlamydia.

4) Health Certificate - APHIS Form 7001: This is the standard Health Certificate and your vet should carry it. You will need to make sure your vet is USDA accredited as this form must also be endorsed by the USDA. Timing is critical as the Health Certificate must be issued within 7 days of the flight.

5) Parasite Treatment: Each pet must be treated for external parasites within 2-10 days prior to the flight, and internal parasites within 4 days of the flight. These treatments should be noted on the Health Certificate.

6) Import Permit: You must obtain an import permit prior to arrival in Singapore. We can get the process started for you, or if you wish we can email you the forms.

7) Quarantine: There is a 30-day mandatory quarantine upon arrival in Singapore for pets coming from the US. This cannot be avoided. Reservations must be made with the Singapore Animal Quarantine Station prior to arrival.
