Bringing a pet to Mongolia: import rules

Mongolia is a low-volume but viable corridor, Ulaanbaatar receives a small but steady flow of pets tied to mining-sector expat families, diplomatic postings, and returning Mongolian households. The General Authority for Veterinary Services issues the import permit; microchip, rabies vaccination with a valid titer, and a vet health certificate anchor the workflow. Routing usually transits through Beijing or Seoul, so timing must align with both transit and arrival inspection at Chinggis Khaan International.

Relocation details

Pick direction: import or export.

Requirements, permits, and timeline differ for entering Mongolia vs leaving Mongolia.

Overview

Mongolia keeps pet import relatively simple: an owner-accompanied dog or cat typically needs an ISO microchip, rabies vaccination given between 30 days and 12 months before entry, and a government-endorsed export health certificate, with no titer test normally required.

Quarantine

Pets arrive through Chinggis Khaan International Airport (ULN) in Ulaanbaatar; entry generally proceeds on document inspection rather than mandatory quarantine when paperwork is complete, though officials may examine the animal on arrival.

Permit

Oversight sits with the General Authority for Veterinary Services; pets accompanying their owner typically do not need a separate import permit, but always confirm current rules and whether commercial movement or your specific route changes that.

Timeline

A month or so is often enough since no titer wait applies, but the rabies vaccine must sit within the 30-day-to-12-month window and puppies or kittens cannot be vaccinated before three months of age; confirm current requirements before booking.

Regulations change. We verify current requirements before every move.
