How to Travel with Pets in the Philippines: BAI Shipping Permits, Flights & Ferry Rules

Traveling between the 7,641 islands of the Philippines with your beloved dog or cat is exciting, but navigating quarantine regulations requires strict preparation. Missing one document can result in denied boarding at airport cargo or seaport terminals.

Written by MyFurPet Travel & Legal Desk

Bureau of Animal Industry (BAI) Domestic Transport Standards

The 3 Non-Negotiable Requirements

To travel domestically with a pet: (1) Your pet must have an updated Anti-Rabies vaccination administered at least 14 days before travel and within 1 year; (2) A licensed veterinarian must issue a Veterinary Health Certificate (VHC) valid for 3 days; (3) You must secure an official BAI Domestic Shipping Permit (SP) via the NVQSD portal.

Step-by-Step BAI Shipping Permit Process

Check Rabies Vaccination Window (Day -30 to -14)

The Bureau of Animal Industry will reject any permit if the rabies shot was administered less than 14 days before your departure date, as antibodies take two weeks to reach peak protective levels.

Vet Clinic Visit for Health Certificate (Day -3 to -1)

Have your veterinarian conduct a physical exam. The VHC must state that your pet is free of clinical signs of contagious diseases and fit to travel. Crucial: The certificate is only valid for 3 days from issuance.

Apply on the BAI NVQSD Online System

Upload clear photos of your pet's vaccination records and health certificate. Download and print the approved shipping permit with the official BAI QR code.
