Pet travel route
Dog or cat from Uruguay to Malaysia: official requirements
Possible. With nothing done yet, start at least 2 weeks ahead for a dog. The main steps: ISO microchip, rabies vaccination and core vaccinations within 12 months and 4 more.
Rules checked up to 12 October 2026From 10 official pages
In short
- Dogs and cats differ on this route: choose Dog or Cat to see just yours.
- Malaysia puts Uruguay in the group “Non-scheduled country”, which decides part of the rules.
- On this route: import permit needed and quarantine on arrival.
- No rabies blood test on this route for a pet that meets the rules.
Limited official guidance. The authority for entering Malaysia publishes little for this route. Everything it does say is here, with its wording. DVS's regulations give no deadline for the import permit and no fees, MAQIS's pet guide dates from 2016, and two DVS documents disagree on quarantine length and on a rabies blood test (see the warning on the older document). Ask MAQIS (bq@maqis.gov.my, 03-8870 8000) to confirm the current rules for your route before you travel.

The vet's certificate must state that your pet was vaccinated against rabies with an approved anti-rabies vaccine before export. DVS gives no minimum number of days between the vaccination and export in its current documents.
Details and the official words
An older DVS document (2016) asks for the vaccination at least 3 months before export plus a rabies blood test: see the warning on the older document.
“The animal has been vaccinated against rabies using an approved anti-rabies vaccine, prior to export.”

PermitEntering Malaysia
MAQIS import permit (through an import agent)
Every pet needs a valid import permit from MAQIS. You appoint a registered import agent, who applies for it in the e-Permit system (with the quarantine booking number if your pet is quarantined). MAQIS approves or rejects it, and the agent prints it once it is paid. Bring the original permit, the veterinary health certificate and an updated vaccination record to the entry point for inspection.

The documents give no processing time for the permit.
“Pengimportan hendaklah disertakan dengan permit import yang sah yang dikeluarkan oleh Jabatan Perkhidmatan Kuarantin dan Pemeriksaan Malaysia (MAQIS).”

A Veterinary Health Certificate from the exporting country's government veterinary authority must come with the pet, and the pet must be exported within 7 days of the date the certificate was issued. The pet is examined within 7 days before export and again fit to travel on the day of shipment.
Details and the official words

Travel day and arrival
QuarantineEntering Malaysia
Quarantine on arrival: book a space at an Animal Quarantine Station
Pets from non-scheduled countries are quarantined for at least 7 days at an Animal Quarantine Station on arrival (pets from Australia: at least 10 clear days); it can be extended up to 6 months after a risk assessment. MAQIS says to book the space 14 days before the import date (form MK1, with a non-refundable deposit). Pets from scheduled countries skip this.
The official wording is ambiguous. Confirm this point with the authority.
Details and the official words
MAQIS's pet guide (2016) books the quarantine space first and needs the booking number for the permit, but MAQIS's FAQ says to apply for quarantine after you get the permit. Ask MAQIS which order to follow.
“Upon arrival the animal shall be placed in quarantine and may be vaccinated with approved anti-rabies vaccine and detained in quarantine for compulsory period of not less than seven (7) days.”
“Upon arrival the dogs/cats shall be placed in approved quarantine for a period of not less than 10 clear days”
“Tempahan ruang kuarantin hendaklah dibuat 14 hari sebelum tarikh pengimportan haiwan kesayangan.”
“Pemohon akan diberikan satu Nombor Tempahan Ruang Kuarantin yang merupakan syarat untuk kelulusan permit import kucing atau anjing.”
Good to know
- An older DVS document that is still online (revised 19 December 2016) is stricter than the current one for non-scheduled countries: it asks for a rabies vaccination at least 3 months before export, a rabies antibody blood test (at least 0.5 IU) taken at least a month after the vaccination and within 6 months of export, and at least 14 days' quarantine instead of 7. The current document (republished with a notice dated 11 December 2025) doesn't ask for the blood test. We show the current rules; confirm with MAQIS which applies to your pet.
- Which countries count as 'scheduled' (no quarantine) changed: DVS's notice of 11 December 2025 added Greece, Luxembourg, the Czech Republic, Malta, Slovenia, Estonia, Bahrain, Austria, Belgium, Germany, Portugal, Montenegro, Bulgaria and Lithuania to the United Kingdom, Eire, Northern Ireland, New Zealand, Japan, Sweden and Brunei. MAQIS's FAQ also names Singapore.
- Banned dog breeds (including their crosses): Akita, American Bulldog, Dogo Argentino, Fila Brasileiro, Japanese Tosa, Neapolitan Mastiff and Pit Bull-type dogs (American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier).
- Restricted breeds (Bull Mastiff, Bull Terrier, Doberman, German Shepherd/Alsatian including Belgian and East European Shepherds, Perro de Presa Canario, Rottweiler): you need the MAQIS Director General's written approval before you apply for the import permit. They may only come as a personal pet or for security, with a pedigree certificate, an ISO microchip, an inspection of your premises and a written declaration.
- The animal must travel directly by aircraft (or other transport) to the prescribed landing place or another airport in Malaysia.
- The vet's certificate states that no case of rabies was reported in the country in the 6 months before the certificate date and that the animal was not imported into that country in those 6 months.
- The destination country sets the health requirements and how long the certificate is valid (in calendar days). Check them with your accredited vet and plan the certificate around your travel date.
- If your pet entered Uruguay with a certificate and leaves within the validity stated on it, you can use that same certificate. If it has expired, or states no validity, ask MGAP for a new official certificate.
