Pet travel route

Dog or cat from Taiwan to Peru: official requirements

Possible. There is no official waiting period, but you still need: rabies vaccination (pets 3 months or older), valid core vaccinations on the certificate and internal and external parasite treatment before travel and 2 more.

In short

Limited official guidance. The authority for leaving Taiwan publishes little for this route. Everything it does say is here, with its wording. APHIA's own pages (aphia.gov.tw) did not open from our network, so this is built from the law itself, in the Ministry of Agriculture's official English texts: the Act on the Prevention and Control of Infectious Animal Diseases (Art. 36), the regulations for animals carried by passengers and the quarantine fee regulations. They say when APHIA issues an export certificate and what you bring, but not where or how far ahead to apply, whether a vet's health certificate or other records are needed, or how long the inspection takes. Ask the APHIA branch at your airport of departure.

Limited official guidance. The authority for entering Peru publishes little for this route. Everything it does say is here, with its wording. SENASA states these requirements in a press note (29 November 2024) and an older page (2020), not in a regulation we could read. They give no deadline for the certificate, no blood test, no quarantine rule and no list of accepted origin countries, and the fees quoted in them are old. Ask SENASA (viajacontumascota@senasa.gob.pe) what applies to your route. Customs (SUNAT) has its own rules for the pet's arrival.

At a glance

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

How early to start

No official wait

whether or not your pet is already microchipped and vaccinated

No official wait still means appointments: rabies vaccination (pets 3 months or older), valid core vaccinations on the certificate and internal and external parasite treatment before travel and 2 more. Book them early; lab and paperwork times are not counted.

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.

Taiwan → Peru

What your pet needs

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

Taking a dog or cat out of Taiwan (APHIA): 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 Peru

      Rabies vaccination (pets 3 months or older)

      The rabies vaccine is compulsory for dogs and cats from 3 months of age, and the vaccination must be valid on the health certificate.

      Details and the official words

      “La vacuna de Rabia es obligatoria para ambas mascotas a partir de los 3 meses de edad”

    2. VaccinationEntering Peru

      Valid core vaccinations on the certificate

      The export certificate must list current vaccines: for dogs canine parvovirus, distemper, canine hepatitis, leptospirosis and rabies; for cats feline panleukopenia and rabies.

      Details and the official words

      “(en perros: Parvovirus canino, Distemper canino, Hepatitis canina, Leptospirosis y Rabia; y en gatos: Panleucopenia felina y Rabia).”

  2. In the days before you travel

    1. TreatmentEntering Peru

      Internal and external parasite treatment before travel

      Your pet is treated against internal and external parasites shortly before travel and the certificate says so. We plan for within 15 days (SENASA's 2024 note says 30 days, its 2020 page 15).

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

      Details and the official words

      SENASA's two pages give different windows (30 and 15 days): the stricter is shown. Ask SENASA.

      “además de la desparasitación interna y externa realizada dentro de los 30 días previos al viaje.”

      “Desparasitación (interna y externa) realizada dentro de los 15 días previos del viaje.”

    2. PaperworkTaiwan and Peru

      Original export health certificate from the official authority of the country you come from

      Bring the original export health certificate issued by the official authority of the country of origin. It must give the pet's current vaccines, the parasite treatment and its state of health. SENASA's notes give no deadline for how recent it must be: ask SENASA.

      Details and the official words

      APHIA export animal quarantine certificate (when your destination asks for one): Your destination asks for an official certificate, so apply to APHIA (Taiwan's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Agency) for export quarantine: fill in the application form and show your passport, your ticket and other relevant documents (the law doesn't list them: ask APHIA). APHIA inspects your pet and, if it meets the requirements, issues the export animal quarantine certificate. Your pet may only leave once it has the certificate.

      The law doesn't say how far ahead to apply or how long the inspection takes. Ask the APHIA branch at your airport.

      “Certificado sanitario de exportación original emitido por la Autoridad Oficial del país de procedencia que consigne la siguiente información”

      “The quarantine objects may be exported only after they are inspected and certified as qualified by import/export animal quarantine authorities, and an export animal quarantine certificate is issued”

      “must complete the application form with the presence of passport, ticket and other relevant documents.”

      “Animal quarantine objects: Veterinary certificates must be issued by the import/ export animal quarantine authority”

  3. Travel day and arrival

    1. On arrivalEntering Peru

      Present the documents to SENASA on arrival and pass the clinical inspection

      The owner or an agent takes an application with their details and the pet's, and the certificate, to the SENASA office at Jorge Chávez airport (or another international airport or land border post). A SENASA vet then examines the pet for signs of infectious or parasitic disease and decides whether it can continue with the entry procedure.

      Details and the official words

      “El propietario o apoderado de la mascota debe presentar en la oficina de SENASA, ubicada en el aeropuerto Jorge Chávez y otros terminales aéreos internacionales del interior del país, así como en puestos de control fronterizos (vía terrestre), los siguientes documentos:”

      “Posteriormente, se realiza la inspección clínica a la mascota para detectar la presencia de algún signo de enfermedad infectocontagiosa o parasitaria.”

Good to know

  • SENASA's 2024 note asks for the parasite treatment within 30 days before travel; its 2020 page says within 15 days. We plan for 15 days, which satisfies both: confirm with SENASA.
  • APHIA issues an export animal quarantine certificate for a pet when your destination's authority asks for Taiwan's certificate, and turns down applications otherwise. Check what your destination asks for before you apply.
  • A passenger taking up to 3 dogs and 3 cats pays no quarantine fee and no quarantine-label fee. APHIA charges NT$100 per application for computer processing unless you enter the application yourself, on the computer at the counter or online.
  • Planning to bring your pet back to Taiwan? Apply for Taiwan's import permit before your pet leaves. If it will stay somewhere that isn't on Taiwan's rabies-free list, have its rabies blood test done before it leaves Taiwan: coming back within one year of that sample, it can skip the post-entry quarantine.

Money

What it costs

Government fees exactly as the official pages state them, and what vets and labs in Taiwan publish for the steps above. The two are never added together.

What vets and labs charge Not official figures

We have no published vet or lab prices for Taiwan yet.

Round trip

Coming back to Taiwan

Nothing for the trip back has to happen before your pet leaves Taiwan.

The trip back asks for 10 steps: microchip, rabies vaccination (over 90 days old), rabies vaccination 30 days to 1 year before arrival and rabies blood test (at least 0.5 IU/ml) and more.
