🇫🇯Taking a dog or cat to Fiji: entry rules and flights
✓ Rules checked: May 31, 2026Official sources only
Fiji sets its own requirements for bringing in dogs and cats. From any departure country your pet needs import permit, veterinary health certificate, additional vaccination and microchip. The rules are the same for dogs and cats.
There is no quarantine if the rule's conditions are met — otherwise the pet is held. Order matters more than the list: the microchip goes in before the rabies vaccination, or the vaccination does not count. 1 carriers in our directory fly direct to Fiji, and their pet conditions differ.
