Hi!
I'm studying nursing now in Spain and I want to live in Abu Dhabi in a future, when I end in university.
I have 3 little dogs. My question is: how I must to do to take it there, with me? Needs a special requirements? They must be quarantined?
Thanks so much!

You'll need to have the dogs fully vaccinated and get an Arabic translation of the certificates.

You will also need a vet at the UAE end to handle the import at this side.

Bear in mind that bringing pets into the UAE is VERY expensive. A work colleague of mine recently paid over £2,500 to bring his two dogs from the UK.

One other thing - according to the import regulations you can only bring two dogs with you, if you want to bring all three you would have to find somebody who would be willing to import him/her for you.
