Belgium’s Rules if coming from outside the EU
To introduce a pet from a third country, you must enter with your pet through one of the designated Travelers’ Points of Entry.
Dogs and Cats must:
- be identified with a microchip, or tattoo
- be vaccinated against rabies with a valid vaccine at the time of travel.
- If you come from a country that appears in Annex II of the European Regulation 577/2013, no serological testing on antibodies against rabies is required.
- For all other countries, the blood test must be performed by an accredited EU laboratory 30 days after immunization and three months before the trip to Belgium.
- If you come from a country not listed in Annex II, you must contact the Customs authority immediately after entering Belgium.
- must have an animal health certificate from an official veterinarian ten days before travel to Belgium
Pets under 15 weeks of age coming from a country that is not a member of the European Union are not permitted to enter Belgium.
