🇬🇪 Pet Import to Georgia
Georgia's pet import framework is comparatively informal relative to EU standards: a rabies vaccination certificate and a basic veterinary health certificate are generally expected, but microchipping is not consistently enforced and no formal quarantine regime applies to dogs and cats arriving with valid paperwork. Requirements can vary depending on the point of entry and are subject to change with limited public notice, so travelers should confirm current rules directly with Georgian border veterinary services before departure. Because enforcement is inconsistent, pet owners transiting onward to EU countries should still meet full EU Pet Passport standards to avoid rejection at the next border.
