Pet travel route
Dog or cat from Morocco to Egypt: official requirements
We can’t tell you yet. Egypt's veterinary authority doesn't publish its pet import requirements anywhere we could read. We only have what the UK and US governments certify for Egypt, so we can't tell you what applies from other countries. Ask the Egyptian embassy or consulate in your country and your own veterinary authority.
Rules checked up to 13 October 2026From 6 official pages
In short
- Pets from Morocco can still go elsewhere: the Morocco exit page lists every destination and how long each takes.
- The Egypt 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.
Limited official guidance. The authority for entering Egypt publishes little for this route. Everything it does say is here, with its wording. We couldn't find or reach a page for pet owners from Egypt's veterinary authority (the General Organization for Veterinary Services). These rules come from the Egyptian consulate in London and from the export certificates the UK and US governments issue for Egypt, so we only cover trips from the UK and the US. None of them gives a minimum age, a waiting time after the rabies vaccination, or the level and timing of the blood test the consulate asks UK travellers for. Confirm the requirements with the Egyptian embassy or consulate in your country before you travel.
