Hi PetRelocation,
Is a quarantine mandatory for a cat moving from Italy to Singapore?
Thanks,
Fifre
Hi Fifre,
Thank you for your question! Singapore is rabies free and is stricter than many other countries when it comes to importing pets, so yes, pets entering Singapore from Italy will need to undergo quarantine upon arrival. Depending on your cat's status in terms of vaccinations fulfilled and requirements met, this quarantine period will be between 10 and 30 days.
For more details about this process, please refer to the official Singapore government website. Here you'll find a helpful timeline tool and additional guidance.
If you think you'd like some help arranging your cat's move, feel free to contact us for a complimentary pet travel consultation.
Finally, to share a little more about what it's like to travel with a pet to Singapore, take a look at this roundup of Singapore pet travel stories and take the time to read over these tips for Singapore pet travel. It's easy to become overwhelmed by the prospect of international pet travel, but it's important to remember that it's possible to plan a safe trip (and pets tend to handle the process just fine).
Hope this helps, Fifre. Just let us know if we can be of further assistance!
