🇬🇪 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.

Vaccination requirements

  • Rabies vaccination (at least 30 days before travel, valid certificate required)
  • Core vaccines recommended but not strictly enforced

Transport

Georgian Airways and international carriers serving Tbilisi generally follow standard IATA live-animal rules, with small pets permitted in cabin and larger dogs as cargo. Enforcement of carrier documentation checks at Tbilisi International Airport is less rigorous than in EU states.
