To bring pets into Bahrain, an Import Permit is mandatory and must be obtained prior to travel. The permit, valid for 30 days, requires detailed information about the pet, including its name, species, breed, age, sex, color, and microchip or tattoo number (if applicable). The application must include scanned copies of vaccination records and, if necessary, Rabies Neutralising Antibody Titre Test (RNATT) certification. Additionally, a Health Certificate issued by a government-approved veterinarian within 10 days of travel is required. This certificate must be authenticated by an official government authority with a valid stamp and signature. Internal and external Parasite Treatments (including deworming, tick, and flea control) must be administered within 24-120 hours before departure. Both the import permit and health certificate are essential for customs clearance, and all original documents must accompany the pet upon arrival. Pets must arrive as manifested cargo, and incomplete documentation may result in quarantine or re-exportation at the owner’s expense.
