Taking Pet Cats and Dogs from Sri Lanka to Australia

As per the current regulations set by the Government of Australia, it is not possible to transport your pet child directly from Sri Lanka to Australia as Sri Lanka has been classified as a Non-Approved country (High Risk Country). Nonetheless, the Government of Australia has prescribed a solution for pets travelling from Non-approved countries such as Sri Lanka to Australia.

We at Pet Express have safely transported so many pets from Sri Lanka to Australia during the past so many years. So rest assured.

Here is the very complex process in a nutshell

1. Microchip + Primary Rabies vaccine & other vaccines
2. Complete a minimum 30 days and do the Rabies Neutralising Antibody Titre Test (RNATT) at an OIE approved Lab
3. Fly the pet to an approved group 2 or 3 country. We recommend Singapore (group 2)
4. Once we have the RNATT test results we can apply for a quarantine spot in Singapore. At the time of applying, the earliest available quarantine spot at AVS Sembawang will be anywhere between 6-10 months away. 
5. Based on the booked quarantine dates, we will fly your pet from Sri Lanka to Singapore.
6. The pets need to stay in Singapore for minimum 210 days. (the first 30 days will be at quarantine & another 180 days minimum residency in Singapore)
7. Veterinary services will be carried out during the stay in Singapore as per DAWE Australia. 
8. Once the pet fulfils all entry regulations set by the Government of Australia and once the import permit is granted by DAWE Australia; we will fly your pet from Singapore to Melbourne (MEL), Australia.
9. Please note that Melbourne is the only entry point for pets arriving in Australia & Tasmania. 
10. Your pets will be subject to 10 days mandatory quarantine upon arrival in Melbourne before being released.
11. If required we can transport your pet child to another city in Australia thereafter.
