Hi there anyone know of the regulations for dogs coming in from South Africa. I did hear rumours that again there was no quarantine.

Hi flyingpommy,

if you follow the guidelines :

your pet will be met on arrival at the airport and the documents checked by the vet. If all are ok there is not quarantine necessary.

Don't forget to check with all the airlines you use about bringing your dog on the plane to Malta.

Cheers
Ricky

South Africa appears to be a non-approved country., so

PART II Entry to MALTA from non-approved countries:
For your pet to enter MALTA from these countries, you must answer ‘yes' to the following
steps:
• Is it micro-chipped?
• Is your pet currently vaccinated against rabies?
• Was it vaccinated after being micro-chipped?
• Was a blood sample for a blood test taken at least 30 days after it was vaccinated?
• Has it passed the blood test? (your vet will tell you)
• Have 3 months passed since the sampling date for the Rabies Anti-body titration test?
• Have you got an EU Pet Passport or Official Veterinary Health Certificate from your veterinary authority certifying the microchip, vaccination and blood test result?
