In short

Limited official guidance. The authority for leaving Oman publishes little for this route. Everything it does say is here, with its wording. Oman publishes no page on taking a pet abroad. The ministry's only export service is a general veterinary health certificate for an animal shipment, which you can start from a personal account. It doesn't mention pets, how long before departure to apply or how long the certificate is valid. Ask the Veterinary Quarantine Department of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries Wealth and Water Resources before you plan the trip.

At a glance

The rules on this route are the same for dogs and cats.

How early to start

3 weeks

if your pet has no microchip or rabies vaccination yet

Set by: Rabies vaccination (leave at least 21 days after a first vaccination)

No official wait

if it is already microchipped and vaccinated

The least time the official waiting periods allow. Vet, lab and paperwork appointments come on top.

On this route

  • Parasite treatment before travel

Part of this route is still under review, so we don’t say what it doesn’t need.

What your pet needs

In the order you do them. Each step says whether Oman (leaving) or Brazil (entering) asks for it.

Taking a dog or cat out of Oman: we summarised this from a short or older official page and it is still under review, so it may be incomplete.

  1. Get ready

    1. VaccinationEntering Brazil

      Rabies vaccination

      Dogs and cats aged 90 days or older must arrive vaccinated against rabies, with a vaccine authorised by the vet authority of the country where it was given and still in date. After a first (primary) vaccination your pet may only leave 21 days or more after the shot; a pet whose vaccine lapsed before a booster counts as a first-time vaccinate again.

      Details and the official words

      Our age cut-off is 3 calendar months at arrival (Brazil says 90 days). If your pet is close to 90 days old, ask VIGIAGRO.

      The 21-day wait only applies after a first (or lapsed) vaccination; the engine shows it for every vaccine date, so a pet with an in-date booster can ignore it.

      If this is missed: The animal can be refused, returned or held (Art. 18), at the owner's cost.

      “Todos os animais a partir de noventa (90) dias de idade devem ingressar vacinados contra a raiva, tendo sido utilizadas, no país de sua aplicação, vacinas autorizadas pela autoridade veterinária, que devem estar dentro do seu período de vigência.”

      “o embarque pelo país exportador deve ser autorizado uma vez transcorridos vinte e um (21) dias da aplicação da referida vacina.”

  2. In the days before you travel

    1. Vet examEntering Brazil

      Clinical examination by a vet

      A registered vet in the exporting country examines your pet within the 10 days before the CVI is issued and certifies that it shows no signs of infectious or parasitic disease and is fit to travel.

      Details and the official words

      “no prazo de dez (10) dias anteriores à data de emissão do CVI, a um exame clínico realizado por um médico veterinário registrado no país exportador”

    2. TreatmentEntering Brazil

      Treatment against internal and external parasites

      A broad-spectrum treatment against internal and external parasites, with a product approved by the exporting country's authority and following the maker's instructions, within the 15 days before the CVI is issued. It is recorded on the CVI.

      Details and the official words

      “no prazo de quinze (15) dias antes da data de emissão do CVI, a um tratamento de amplo espectro contra parasitos internos e externos”

    3. PaperworkOman and Brazil

      International Veterinary Certificate (CVI)

      The original CVI, issued by the exporting country's veterinary authority, using the model the Brazilian ministry requires (mandatory since 6 September 2025). It is valid for 60 days from issue, as long as the rabies vaccination is still valid on arrival. Keep the original: border staff must not keep it.

      The official wording is ambiguous. Confirm this point with the authority.

      Details and the official words

      Ministry veterinary health certificate for export: Apply to the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries Wealth and Water Resources for a veterinary health certificate to export your pet (the service is listed on Gov.om for personal accounts). Your pet must show no symptoms of epidemic, contagious or zoonotic animal diseases. The certificate costs 5 rials, and an inspection fee is paid at the port (from 100 baisa to 100 rials). Service time is given as one hour.

      The service is written for any animal shipment and lists documents that don't concern pets (fish quality, catch and CITES certificates). Ask the Veterinary Quarantine Department which documents it wants for a dog or cat.

      The customs portal also has a 'Medical Certificate to Export Animals and Wild Birds' service, but it asks for a company registration and an inspection request two days before the goods arrive at the port: it is written for businesses, so we don't apply it to pets.

      If this is missed: The animal can be refused, returned or held (Art. 18), at the owner's cost.

      “Para o ingresso de cães e gatos é necessário apresentar Certificado Veterinário Internacional (CVI) ou Passaporte oficial emitido por Autoridade Veterinária do país de origem atendendo aos requisitos sanitários do Brasil.”

      “Os animais devem ingressar, retornar, transitar ou circular pelos Estados Partes amparados pelo Certificado Veterinário Internacional (CVI) original, emitido pela autoridade veterinária do país exportador”

      “O CVI é válido para o ingresso, retorno, trânsito ou circulação entre os Estados Partes por um período de sessenta (60) dias corridos, contados a partir da data de sua emissão, sempre que a certificação de vacinação contra a raiva se encontre vigente.”

      “This service enables you to get a veterinary health certificate to export an animal shipment.”

      “Fees to be paid to receive the certificate”

      “Fees to be paid for inspection at the port (starting from 100 baisa to 100 riyals)”

      “The shipment must be free of any symptoms of epidemic, contagious or common animal diseases”

Good to know

  • Countries or zones officially free of rabies (per WOAH) can be exempt from the rabies vaccination, but only if Brazil has recognised that status beforehand and the CVI states it. We don't hold Brazil's list of recognised countries, so we ask for the vaccination from every pet aged 90 days or older. If you come from a rabies-free country, ask MAPA/VIGIAGRO whether the exemption applies.
  • Brazil may refuse entry to an animal that has previously been diagnosed with leishmaniasis.
  • The Portaria does not make a microchip compulsory in itself, but if your pet has an electronic chip it must follow ISO 11784 and/or ISO 11785, and the CVI must say where on the body it sits. Check with VIGIAGRO whether your port of entry expects one.
  • A pet that arrives without meeting the rules can be refused, sent back to where it came from, held, or otherwise dealt with by the Brazilian veterinary authority, and all costs fall on the owner.
  • Brazil may also accept an official pet passport in place of the CVI, if it carries all the data the CVI asks for and is valid in the country that issued it. The CVI is the safe choice.
  • The ministry issues the certificate only once your documents meet the import health requirements of the country your pet is going to, so find out first what your destination asks for (vaccination, blood test, import permit).
