In order for the customs and veterinary authorities to allow your pet to enter through its major air ports, we at Al Fares Company cover and secure the entire logistics to:Riyadh (King Khalid International Airport), Jeddah (King Abdulaziz International Airport), Dammam (King Fahd International Airport), and Medina. The following conditions must be met in technical order:
The dog or cat must be injected with an internationally approved electronic chip (ISO 11784/11785) consisting of 15 numbers. This is the number one procedure scientifically; It must be preceded by any vaccination or analysis, and the chip must be recorded in all official documents issued by the veterinary quarantine in Egypt.
Issuing an official passport for the pet that includes rabies vaccinations and integrated viral vaccinations (triple or quadruple), making sure it is stamped and signed by a registered and accredited veterinary clinic such asAl Fares Veterinary Clinic.
This is the travel nerve of the Kingdom; The Saudi Ministry of Environment requires that the pet’s medical file be uploaded in its entirety viaNama platformElectronic application to obtain a prior animal import permit. Shipping a dog or cat without linking the Nama platform authorization code to the waybill means returning the animal immediately on the same flight.
It is the mandatory laboratory veterinary examination required by specialists in the Kingdom by name to measure the efficiency of antibodies to the rabbit virus in the blood (the safe result must not be less than 0.5 IU/ml). The sample is taken 30 days after the rabies vaccination in an accredited and documented laboratory.
