Certification of Veterinarian's Examination Statement confirmed
by a local veterinary office is required.
The documents are also needed that
show that the pet has received all the vaccination necessary for
international travel (the list of vaccines is available through
most local veterinaries). The vaccination should be made not
later than 2 weeks before travel (i.e. 5 days before travel is
not OK, and this is strictly enforced). The customs will charge
the traveler a customs processing fee for every pet. The fee is
quite nominal and currently is about 7 US dollars.
Technically translations (to Russian/Belarusian) are required
for the documents but this is normally not enforced. If a person
arrives with a pet and documents are in English and not
translated most of times there will be no problems. Certainly a
translation of the pet's documents will make travel more calm
and easy.
Upon arrival to Belarus pets
need to be registered with a local veterinary service within one
month of arrival.
It is generally possible to
travel with a pet in local buses, trains and airplanes but
better check with appropriate carrier about their policy.
It is also possible to stay with a pet in some hotels and this
also needs to be confirmed by hotels directly in each particular
case. |
