To bring personal pets to Latvia, you need to have an internationally recognized veterinary certificate attesting to the general health of the pet(s) as well as to the immunization and vaccination record (for dogs: against rabies, canine distemper, infectious canine hepatitis, and canine parvoviral infection; for cats: against rabies and feline infectious panleucopenia). The certificate must be in Latvian, English or Russian.

To bring pets into Latvia for commercial purposes, a veterinary certificate is required (issued by the exporting country's official assigned veterinarian) as well as a import permit issued by Latvia's State Veterinary Service.

In the event of a transit situation, a veterinary certificate and an agreement form from the importing country's Veterinary Service is required.

PLEASE NOTE: As circumstances in individual cases always differ, it is best to turn to the State Veterinary Service in the event of further questions:
