Bringing Pets To The Qatar
Expatriates may bring their pets with them to Qatar but most companies will NOT reimburse employees for the cost of shipment of pets as part of the household goods shipment allowance. Employees who desire to ship pets should familiarize themselves with the cost, customs, quarantine restrictions, and requirements for bringing animals into Qatar.
You must ask your sponsor to obtain an import permit from the Ministry of Agriculture on your behalf. In order to obtain this – you must provide a valid health certificate produced by a government-approved veterinary clinic at the point of origin, together with a copy of your pet's vaccination record. The health certificate may not be dated earlier than two weeks prior to the date of the animals' arrival in Qatar . Application forms should be readily available through your sponsoring employer, the offices at the Ministry of Agriculture on Airport Road or through your Pet Relocation assisting party.
