Customs Law - What Can You Bring to Turkey

Bringing Your Pets to Turkey

You can bring your pets to Turkey but there is a legal limit on the number of pets allowed. Each person can only bring in one cat or dog, or one bird or 10 aquarium fish.

You can bring your dog or cat into the country as long as you carry the animal’s health and vaccination certificates with you. None of these documents need to be legalized by the either Foreign and Commonwealth Office Legalisation Department or Turkish Consulate General, provided that you accompany your pets.

The rules:

• Veterinary health certificate must be issued no more than 10 days before departure.
• Rabies vaccination must be given no more than 6 months ago and not less than 15 days before departure.

It is always wise to check the rules and regulations on bringing your pets into Turkey before you do so, as they are often subject to change.
