Import and export of goods Items for personal use as well as 2,000 cigarettes or 200 cigars or 2 kg of tobacco are allowed into the United Arab Emirates. Adults who do not follow Islam are allowed to import 2 liters of wine and 2 liters of spirits. The importation of weapons, drugs, counterfeit money and pornographic articles into the United Arab Emirates is severely punished. Entry with pets For the owners of dogs and other animals, when traveling abroad, the question arises whether they can even take their animals with them to the chosen travel destination, and if that is possible, then of course the question of the respective applicable conditions arises. Here with us you will find all the important information on this topic, seriously researched at the embassies or the Foreign Office. An import permit is required to enter the United Arab Emirates. This can be obtained from the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries. Dogs and cats must be at least 16 weeks old upon entry. A health certificate is required for all animals confirming that the animal does not have any contagious diseases. In addition, all animals must be vaccinated against rabies. This rabies vaccination must have taken place at least 30 days prior to entry, but not more than a year ago. In addition, every animal must have an implanted microchip. Pets on the plane When transporting pets in airplanes, there is the option of the animal flying together with an accompanying person (owner) or without such a person. Transporting animals with an accompanying person (keeper) In this case, proceed as follows: At the airport, the animal is locked in a transport box provided by the keeper beforehand. It must be ensured that the container is large enough for the animal to stand in it and turn around, and that no liquids can run out (urine). This is done using suitable absorbent material, in the simplest case using a sufficient amount of newspaper. There should also be a water bowl and, depending on the length of the flight, enough food. The transport container is handed over to the staff at the check-in counter. The transport fee depends on the weight of the animal. It is essential to ensure that there is space for the animal on the flight booked, as the number of animals that can be transported is limited. The animal is located in the machine in an air-conditioned area between the passenger deck and the cargo area. As a rule, no member of the crew takes care of the animal during the flight, not even to give water or food. However, experience has shown that the stress of checking in and the take-off phase is so stressful for most animals that they sleep for most of the flight. The administration of sedatives before check-in is not only not recommended, as their effects cannot be foreseen under these conditions, but is even prohibited for reasons of security (smuggling). Many airlines also exclude a number of dogs (attack dogs) from transport. Animal transport without an accompanying person In this case, a specialist company must be commissioned with the transport, which then takes care of everything else. However, it should be ensured that the animal is picked up at the arrival airport by someone who is familiar to the dog. And of course all import regulations for pets for the country have to be explored beforehand and strictly adhered to. Note It has proven to be very helpful if you have accustomed the animal to such a transport container at home a few weeks before the intended flight. United Arab Emirates: Travel Medicine, Vaccinations and Warnings Infectious DiseasesIn the United Arab Emirates, the following diseases, which are not or not as common in Germany and Northern Europe, are to be expected:
The following vaccinations are recommended:
There are no vaccination regulations. Who pays for vaccinations in Germany? Most children in Germany are vaccinated against a number of infectious diseases at an early age. However, the vaccination protection only lasts up to 10 years, in some cases even shorter. Therefore, before traveling abroad, you should carefully consider against which infectious diseases a vaccination is necessary or useful in the country concerned and whether the vaccination protection, if applicable, was not too long ago. Most statutory health insurances have been reimbursing the costs for the following vaccinations since June 2007. There is even no 10 € practice fee - but the insured usually have to pay the statutory co-payment, which is 10% of the vaccine price - that is at least 5 € and a maximum of 10 €. Under these conditions, the following vaccinations are free of charge:
Some health insurance companies also reimburse the cost of malaria prophylaxis. As a rule, private health insurance companies (inquire beforehand) also cover the costs mentioned.
