TRAVEL TO THE BAHAMAS WITH A PET – EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

It’s not always practical to leave your pet at home when traveling. They might not cope well with a boarding stay, and you may not have family or friends who can come and pet sit in your home.

The Bahamas is a popular destination for U.S. tourists, but is it possible to travel to the Bahamas with a pet? Rather than compromise your travel plans, can you take them with you?

You can travel to the Bahamas with a pet, provided you meet specific criteria which prove the pet is healthy. Before you travel, you’ll need to apply for an import permit from the Ministry of Agriculture, Trade, and Industry in Nassau.

Can You Travel to the Bahamas with a Pet?

It’s essential to be organized, though – getting the proper medical certificates and the permit for bringing your pet into the Bahamas takes time. You can’t book a last-minute break and hope to rush through everything.

Regulations for Flying with a Pet to the Bahamas

The import permit must be applied for directly with the Bahamas government and can be done in writing, addressed to: Director of Agriculture, Ministry of Agriculture, Trade and Industry, P.O. Box N-3704, Nassau, The Bahamas

Import Permit

Your pet must have had a recent rabies vaccination to travel with you to the Bahamas. The pet must have received the one-year vaccination more than one month and less than ten months before the travel date.

Rabies vaccinations

As part of the permit application, you’ll receive a veterinary health certificate that a licensed veterinarian must complete 24 hours before you travel.
