🇲🇦Taking a dog or cat to Morocco: entry rules and flights

✓ Rules checked: September 17, 2026Official sources only

Preparing from scratch takes 3 weeks to 4 weeks, depending on where you fly from.

Morocco sets its own requirements for bringing in dogs and cats. There is no single set for everyone: what exactly is needed — microchip, rabies vaccination, rabies antibody titre test and veterinary health certificate — depends entirely on the country you fly from. The rules are the same for dogs and cats.

Order matters more than the list: the microchip goes in before the rabies vaccination, or the vaccination does not count. 23 carriers in our directory fly direct to Morocco, and their pet conditions differ.

The order of preparation

The order matters more than the list: a step done too early has to be repeated. The intervals come from the same rule fields the engine uses for the earliest departure date.

Microchip depends on origin

before the rabies vaccination
Rabies vaccination depends on origin

valid after 21 days
Rabies antibody titre test depends on origin

entry 90 days after the blood draw
Veterinary health certificate depends on origin

no earlier than 1 days before entry

Steps marked “depends on origin” are not needed by everyone — see the table above or check your own route.

Compared by departure country

If the microchip and vaccination are already done, the wait is shorter: the clock runs from the vaccination date, not from today. Breed, weight and connections change the answer too — check your own route with the form above.

Arrival airports

Entry with a pet is only through a designated border post, but the list is kept by the country itself and we do not have it. Below are airports with direct flights; check your own before buying a ticket.
