Flying with your pet from Montevideo (MVD) to Dublin (DUB)

Blockers on this route

• Rabies titer test (FAVN) required — the departure country is not on the EU list. Blood draw at least 30 days after vaccination, then a 3-month wait. Plan for roughly 4 months.
• Tapeworm treatment (Echinococcus multilocularis) required between 120 and 24 hours before arrival — given by a vet, with the date and time recorded on the certificate, or entry is refused. No earlier than 120 hours, no later than 24: both ends bind.
• A clinical examination by an authorised or official veterinarian within the 48 hours before departure, or on the last working day before it. Separate from the health certificate and the tapeworm treatment: a third clock, and it runs from departure, not arrival.
• New EU health certificate model. A certificate issued BEFORE 1 October 2026 on the old model stays valid for entry into the Union until 31 March 2027 — it does not lapse on 1 October. Issued on or after 1 October, it must follow the new model. Passports are unaffected until 2028.
• No airline accepts pets in cabin on this route: hold, cargo, or a pet-dedicated flight.

Minimum lead time
