Pet travel route
Dog or cat from Morocco to Australia: official requirements
Not possible. Australia does not accept dogs or cats exported from this country. Your pet would need to live in an approved country and complete every step there (at least 180 days) before flying to Australia.
Rules checked up to 13 October 2026From 9 official pages
In short
- Australia puts Morocco in the group “Country Australia has not approved”, which decides part of the rules.
- Pets from Morocco can still go elsewhere: the Morocco exit page lists every destination and how long each takes.
- The Australia page shows which countries it accepts pets from.
Limited official guidance. The authority for leaving Morocco publishes little for this route. Everything it does say is here, with its wording. Morocco's food safety office (ONSSA) publishes the health certificate model agreed with each destination, as scanned documents, and its fee list, but no guide for pet owners: it doesn't say how far ahead to apply, what to bring or how long it takes. It asks you to contact the veterinary service where you live. Do that well before you travel, and follow your destination's rules for the vaccinations and tests.
