🇲🇰 Pet Import to North Macedonia

North Macedonia requires incoming pets to be microchipped, rabies-vaccinated, and accompanied by a veterinary health certificate valid within a limited window before travel, with no standard quarantine for animals meeting these requirements. As an EU candidate country and EU-listed third country, its main practical benefit is for pets travelling from North Macedonia into the EU under the simplified listed-country pathway, not for entry into North Macedonia itself, which still requires its own national health certificate. The most common failure points are travelers relying on an EU pet passport alone without the required separate health certificate, and rabies vaccination certificates that do not meet the minimum 21-day waiting period for first-time vaccinations. Given the country's ongoing EU accession process and periodic regulatory updates, confirming current requirements with national veterinary authorities before travel is recommended.
