🇦🇲 Pet Import to Armenia
Armenia requires incoming pets to be microchipped, currently vaccinated against rabies (with the standard 21-day wait after a first-time shot), and accompanied by a veterinary or international health certificate issued within a limited window before departure. There is no routine quarantine for pets with complete, valid documentation, though animals lacking proper paperwork can be held or refused entry at the border. Common failure points include underestimating certificate validity windows, presenting expired or improperly formatted health documents, and confusion at land border crossings (notably with Georgia) where procedures and enforcement can differ from the airport process in Yerevan. Because Armenia's animal health administration and required forms can change and official English-language guidance is limited, confirming current requirements with Armenian veterinary authorities or an experienced relocation agent before travel is recommended.
