🇦🇬 Pet Import to Antigua and Barbuda
Antigua and Barbuda requires an import permit from the Ministry of Agriculture, a valid rabies vaccination, and a veterinary health certificate for incoming dogs and cats, with no standard quarantine for pets that arrive with complete paperwork. Microchipping is recommended, particularly for pets belonging to relocating investment-migration families, but is not uniformly enforced at the port of entry. As with other smaller Eastern Caribbean states, official published guidance is limited, so travelers should verify current requirements directly with the Ministry of Agriculture and their airline before booking travel.
