Hi all,

What are the formalities and paperwork required to bring your pet in Morocco?

How long do formalities & paperwork usually take in Morocco?

What are the relevant authorities to contact?

Which vaccines are compulsory? Do your pets have to go in quarantine at their arrival in Morocco?

Which advice would you give to the ones who would like to move with a dog, a cat or any other pet?

Thanks in advance for participating

My husband and I moved from the US with our cats to Morocco about a year ago.

Per information I found online, it was required that the cats be up-to-date on rabies vaccines and have USDA-approved vet stamps on their paperwork. We got this in order and were never asked for it in Morocco.

We have since flown in and out with the cats a few times and have had no problems.

No quarantines were necessary, and Royal Air Maroc even allows cats to fly in the cabin (as opposed to in the cargo hold). In all, traveling with them was very simple.
