Leaving the UAE: the export side
Pets leaving the UAE need a MOCCAE export health certificate issued in the final days before departure, up-to-date vaccinations and the destination country's import documents. Pets fly from Dubai International (DXB), with collection anywhere in Dubai, Abu Dhabi or the northern Emirates and the paperwork handled end to end.
