Gibraltar Pet Import Requirements

Agency identification and rabies guidance; old certificate references need confirmation.

Identification

The agency’s entry section requires a microchip and rabies vaccination after microchipping, even if earlier vaccination was current.

Selected official requirements for healthy adult personal pets. Confirm origin eligibility, residence, dates, breeds, permits and border arrangements for the actual journey; the checklist does not evaluate them fully or grant entry. Only accompanying non-commercial adult personal dogs/cats.

Applicable conditions

The page refers to passports and 577/2013 or 2004/824 certificate models, and conditional antibody testing for unlisted sources. It does not reconcile those models with 2026 changes. Obtain the current Gibraltar certificate, risk classification and border instructions in writing; neither automatic EU-law substitution nor blanket antibody exemption is established.
