In order for the German authorities to allow the entry of ALEVIK through its major airports (such asFrankfurt International Airport, Munich Airport, or Berlin Airport), the following technical requirements and medical sequence by day and hour must be met:
The pet must be injected with an internationally approved electronic chip (ISO 11784/11785) consisting of 15 numbers. This is the first technical procedure; The chip must be read and ensure that it matches every bill of lading or document issued later, and any vaccination done before the chip is implanted is considered null and void under European laws.
Issuing an official passport that includes the pet’s data and vaccinations. The European Union requires that the rabies vaccination be effective and that it was injected after the electronic chip, and that the animal must have reached at least 12 weeks of age at the time of vaccination.

The blood sample is drawn at least 30 days after the rabies vaccination, and is sent to accredited central laboratories to measure the efficiency of antibodies (the safe result must not be less than 0.5 IU/ml).
Mandatory waiting condition:Germany requires the passage of3 full monthsAs a waiting period from the date of drawing the accepted blood sample before the pet can enter German territory.
After the waiting period is over, the pet will be examined in veterinary quarantine in Egypt and the official government certificate compatible with European Union models will be obtained. It will be valid for travel for only 10 days from the date of its issuance and authentication by an accredited body such asAl Fares Veterinary Clinic.
