Panama's
Pet Relocation Process
|
Bringing
a pet to Panama to live with you is not complicated, but it requires
knowing and following a strict set of rules and processes. It is
important that you understand the process and follow the rules. |
- The pet must have
an updated Health Certificate (at least 10 days before traveling
to Panama).
- The Health Certificate
has to be authenticated by a Panamanian Consulate or Apostille Stamp.
- At the moment
of arrival to Panama two government ministries will quarantine and
care for your pet (MIDA & Salud).
- The Ministry of
Salud (Health) charges $130.00 per pet.
- MIDA charges approximately
$16.00 for the care and handling of the pet.
- The Panamanian
Authorities offer services and deliver the pet after quarantine Monday
through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
- If a pet arrives
at the airport after these business hours, the pet is held until
the next morning.
- If the pet arrives
over the weekend or a holiday, it has to wait until offices are open
Monday morning.
- If an owner requires
release of a pet after business hours, the owner has to pay a veterinarian
quarantine overtime fee.
