Moving a pet from United States to Singapore

Here is the whole journey for your dog or cat, from the United States to Singapore: every document, in the order to tackle it, with how early to begin. Plan to start a few months before travel.

Singapore. Licence to import and rabies titer with a planning window.

This is a rabies-controlled route. Some destinations add a blood titer and a waiting period, which is the single biggest driver of how early to start.

The documents, step by step

1. 1

   Microchip

   RequiredStart about 4 months before travel

   Singapore starts with the microchip. It is the thread every later document is tied to.

   ISO microchip first; it ties every later record together.

2. 2

   Rabies vaccination

   RequiredStart about 3 months before travel

   A current rabies shot after the microchip sets up the titer that follows.

3. 3

   Rabies blood titer

   RequiredStart about 3 months before travel

   The titer is a quick blood draw, then a short wait. Starting early makes the whole timeline relaxed.

   Blood titer test; plan well ahead.

   A 30-day waiting period follows this step before travel is allowed. We count every day for you.

4. 4

   Import permit

   RequiredStart about a month before travel

   The AVS licence reserves your pet a place in Singapore. We will nudge you when to apply.

   AVS licence to import.

5. 5

   Parasite treatment

   RequiredStart a few days before travel

   A simple parasite treatment shortly before travel is a quick, gentle final step.

6. 6

   Health certificate

   RequiredStart a few days before travel

   The closing vet certificate confirms your companion is ready for the trip.
