Bringing a pet to Germany: import rules

Germany is one of the most frequent European pet destinations, Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, and Frankfurt all see steady relocation traffic from corporate, academic, and lifestyle moves. The EU pet travel scheme applies: microchip, current rabies vaccination, and the EU/non-EU health certificate. From rabies-controlled third countries (including Indonesia), the path includes a rabies titer test with a wait period.
