Pet travel route
Dog or cat from Bahrain to Kuwait: official requirements
We can’t tell you yet. Kuwait's veterinary authority (PAAF) has no page we could reach. The only detailed requirements we could read are in PAAF's health certificate for pets from the United States, so we can't tell you what applies from other countries. Ask PAAF (info@paaf.gov.kw) or the Kuwaiti embassy in your country, and your own veterinary authority.
Rules checked up to 13 October 2026From 4 official pages
In short
- Pets from Bahrain can still go elsewhere: the Bahrain exit page lists every destination and how long each takes.
- The Kuwait page shows which countries it accepts pets from.
Limited official guidance. The authority for leaving Bahrain publishes little for this route. Everything it does say is here, with its wording. Bahrain describes the export health certificate for dogs and cats in a few lines of the ministry's 2024 services guide (in Arabic). It doesn't say how long before departure to apply or how long the certificate is valid. The destination decides what the certificate must say, so ask the Veterinary Quarantine Section early.
Limited official guidance. The authority for entering Kuwait publishes little for this route. Everything it does say is here, with its wording. Kuwait's Public Authority for Agriculture Affairs and Fish Resources (PAAF) has no page we could reach. These rules come from PAAF's own model health certificate for pets from the United States (October 2026, published by the US Department of Agriculture), the US Department of Agriculture's page for Kuwait, and the Kuwaiti embassy in Japan's answer about PAAF's import permit, so we only cover trips from the US. None of them says how long before travel the health certificate may be issued, whether a microchip is compulsory, or the minimum age, and the permit's application steps and fee aren't published. Contact PAAF (info@paaf.gov.kw) before you travel.
