Bringing a pet to Andorra

Last reviewed July 2, 2026

Andorra applies different import requirements depending on the rabies-risk category of the pet’s country of origin. Pets from high-risk countries face stricter rules, including mandatory rabies antibody titre testing and a waiting period, while those from low-risk or rabies-free countries have a simpler process. There is no routine quarantine for compliant pets, but all animals must meet microchip, vaccination, and documentation standards.

Frequently asked questions

Andorra requires a FAVN titer test and an import permit for ferrets from high-risk rabies countries. The titer test must be done at least 30 days after vaccination and the sample sent to an EU-approved lab. The import permit must be obtained before travel. No quarantine upon arrival.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, but non-commercial movement is generally limited to 5 pets (dogs, cats, ferrets combined) per person. If you bring more than 5, commercial import rules apply, which require an import permit and additional documentation. Check with the Andorran Ministry of Health for the exact limit.
No. The United States is classified as low-risk for rabies. Ferrets from the US only need an ISO microchip, rabies vaccination (at least 12 weeks old, with a 21-day wait), and a health certificate issued within 10 days of travel. No FAVN titer test or import permit is required.
No. Andorra does not recognize emotional support animals as a separate category for import. All ferrets, regardless of their role, must meet the same microchip, rabies vaccination, health certificate, and (if from a high-risk country) titer test and import permit requirements.
Andorra requires that the rabies vaccination be valid at the time of entry. If the vaccine expires during your stay, it does not affect your entry, but you should ensure the vaccine is valid for the entire duration of your visit if you plan to return to your origin country, as re-entry rules may differ.
No. Andorra requires an ISO 11784/11785 compliant microchip. If your ferret has a non-ISO chip, you must bring your own scanner or have the chip replaced with an ISO chip before travel. The microchip must be implanted before the rabies vaccination.
The Andorran Ministry of Health typically processes import permits within 2-4 weeks. Apply at least 30 days before travel. You will need to submit the rabies vaccination certificate, FAVN titer test results, and a copy of the microchip certificate. There is no online application; contact the ministry directly by email or phone.
Andorra may refuse entry or require the ferret to be quarantined at the owner's expense until a valid health certificate is obtained. Quarantine facilities are limited, and the process can take several days. Always ensure the health certificate is issued within 10 days of arrival.

Good to know

All pets must be microchipped with an ISO 11784/11785 compliant chip before or at the time of rabies vaccination. The rabies vaccine must be administered after the microchip is implanted, and the pet must be at least 12 weeks old at the time of vaccination.

Airline rules & connecting flights

Government import rules are only half the picture — your airline sets its own pet policy on top of them: whether your petcan fly in the cabin at all, size/weight limits for the carrier, breed embargoes (many airlines refuse brachycephalic breeds like bulldogs and pugs in cargo), and seasonal heat restrictions. Check your specific airline's pet policy before booking — see IATA's Traveler's Pet Corner .

If your flight has a layover, the transit country can have its own pet rules — sometimes these apply even if you never leave the airport. If you're transiting through another country on the way to Andorra, check that country's pet-entry/transit rules separately (search "pets" on this site for that country too).

For guidance only. Pet import rules change without notice and a wrong step can mean quarantine or a refused entry for your animal — always confirm current requirements with Andorra's official veterinary/agriculture authority and your airline before travelling.
