Process

Animal Transport To New Zealand: How Does It Work?

New Zealand has very strict biosecurity regulations to protect its environment, making pet relocation a detailed and time-sensitive process. Every step—from vaccinations to permits—must be completed according to specific timelines and government requirements.

Our team manages the entire process, including documentation, testing, and travel coordination, ensuring everything is completed correctly. With expert planning, your pet’s relocation to New Zealand can be handled smoothly and without unnecessary delays.

Requirements

Veterinary Requirements & Documentation for New Zealand

Pet relocation to New Zealand requires thorough preparation and strict compliance with import regulations. These requirements must be completed in the correct order and within defined timeframes.

Your pet must be microchipped before any vaccinations or testing. A valid rabies vaccination is required, followed by a rabies titre (RNATT) blood test to confirm immunity. A waiting period applies after the test before travel is permitted.

For transporting your pet to New Zealand, you will also need:

An import permit issued by New Zealand’s Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI)
An official international health certificate issued before travel
Veterinary checks and parasite treatments prior to departure
Completion of all required documentation in line with biosecurity standards

Pets must also meet eligibility requirements based on approved countries of origin.

Additional Info

Important Travel Information for New Zealand

Pet travel to New Zealand must be carefully planned, as strict controls apply to flight routes, documentation timing, and quarantine procedures. Pets typically travel as manifest cargo under controlled conditions.

All pets must travel in IATA-approved crates that ensure safety, comfort, and proper ventilation throughout the journey. Advance booking is essential, as space for pet travel is limited and must align with quarantine availability.

Upon arrival, pets are transferred to an approved quarantine facility for a mandatory stay. The duration depends on compliance with all requirements but is typically around 10 days.

With proper preparation and expert coordination, relocating your pet to New Zealand can be a safe and well-managed process.
