Moving your pet from Saudi Arabia to Bahrain requires careful preparation, accurate documentation, and compliance with Bahrain’s import regulations. Whether you’re relocating permanently, moving for work, or travelling with your pet, Express Arabia provides end-to-end pet relocation services that ensure a smooth and stress-free experience.

Our experienced relocation specialists handle every stage of the journey, from export documentation in Saudi Arabia to guidance on Bahrain’s import procedures, so your pet travels safely and in full compliance with local regulations.

Bahrain allows the import of pet dogs and cats provided all veterinary and government requirements have been fulfilled before arrival. The exact requirements may vary depending on your pet’s country of origin and current regulations, but in general your pet must meet the following conditions:

• ISO-compliant microchip identification
• Valid rabies vaccination
• Current core vaccinations appropriate for your pet
• Veterinary health examination before travel
• Official veterinary health certificate
• Bahrain import permit (where applicable)
• Compliance with airline pet travel regulations

Our team verifies every requirement before departure to minimise delays and ensure your pet meets the latest entry regulations.

Before your pet can leave Saudi Arabia, several export documents must be prepared and approved. Express Arabia assists with obtaining and verifying all required paperwork.

Typical export documents include:

1. Valid pet passport or pet identification records
2. ISO 11784/11785 compliant microchip details
3. Up-to-date vaccination records
4. Rabies vaccination certificate
5. Veterinary Health Certificate issued by an approved veterinarian
6. Export Health Certificate issued through the Saudi Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture (where applicable)
7. Owner’s passport copy
8. Copy of Bahrain residence visa or work visa (if required)
9. Flight booking details
10. Airline pet travel documentation
11. IATA-compliant travel crate confirmation

Requirements may change based on airline policies and current government regulations.

Upon arrival in Bahrain, authorities may request documentation for customs clearance and veterinary inspection.

Documents generally required include:

1. Bahrain import permit (if applicable)
2. Original Veterinary Health Certificate
3. Original vaccination records
4. Rabies vaccination certificate
5. Microchip information
6. Owner identification
7. Flight and airway bill documentation
8. Customs clearance documents (where applicable)
