Flying to Singapore with a pet

Entry requirements at a glance

Microchip

Required

Confirm accepted identification, scan records and the required sequence with vaccination for your exact route. A chip requirement alone does not establish that your records meet it.

Rabies vaccine

The United States is currently in Schedule II. Dogs and cats need a valid rabies vaccination accepted by AVS, with the primary course and boosters meeting the manufacturer's requirements. Core vaccination records are also required and differ by species. Confirm residence history and the applicable schedule before preparing the pet.

Health certificate

Use the veterinary certificate for the applicable AVS schedule. Arrange parasite treatments and completion of the veterinary health certificate between 2 and 7 days before export, with endorsement by the exporting country's official veterinarian. Confirm the U.S. certificate and APHIS submission process with your accredited veterinarian.

Rabies titer test

For Schedule II and III pets, blood sampling for rabies serology must be at least 28 days after a valid rabies vaccination and at least 90 days, but within 12 months, before export. Use a laboratory accepted under the applicable AVS conditions. The U.S. route does not have a universal 30-day or 180-day titer wait.

Quarantine on arrival

Schedule II personal pets may avoid post-arrival quarantine if they arrive less than 5 days from the owner's entry and have continuously lived at the same address as the owner for more than 6 months before import. Otherwise, personal imports require at least 10 days of home quarantine; commercial imports require at least 10 days at AQC. Schedule III pets require at least 30 days at AQC. Confirm approval for the applicable arrangement.
