Entering "Armenia": what you need
Bringing a dog or cat into Armenia from third countries is governed by the State Food Safety Inspection Body (SATM) — not to be confused with exporting a pet that already lives in Armenia, covered in the "Leaving the country" block below.
Vaccinations
Rabies vaccination no later than 14 days before dispatch, unless already vaccinated within the previous 6 months. A minimum age wasn't stated in the verified text of the regulation.
Rabies titer test
The verified text of Armenia's own regulation (dog/cat section) doesn't mention a titer test as an entry requirement — but its total absence across the full document couldn't be confirmed, so check with SATM before travelling.
Documents
For up to 2 dogs/cats travelling for personal use — an international passport (counts as a veterinary certificate), with no import permit and no quarantine. In other cases — a veterinary certificate from the origin country's state vet, plus an import permit from SATM. Coming from an EAEU country (Russia, Belarus, Armenia), форма №1 does not need to be exchanged — it just gets an "export permitted" stamp; a full international certificate is only needed when the pet travels from outside the Customs Union.
Entry notes
No quarantine for up to 2 personal-use animals with an international passport; other cases default to a 30-day isolation period with testing/vaccination, unless otherwise specified.
Leaving "Armenia": the paperwork
This is the country's general departure procedure — it doesn't depend on where you are heading. For arrival requirements, see the destination country's card or the From → To section.
Documents
a certificate is issued by the state vet service at your place of residence and, at the departure airport (Zvartnots), by border veterinary control. Check with the airline — some carriers from Yerevan connect through transit hubs with their own animal-transit rules.

This information is for reference only and does not replace advice from an embassy, veterinary authority or airline. Rules change — always verify with official sources before you travel. Never give your pet a sedative or sleep medication before a flight without a veterinarian's prescription — pressure changes at altitude can make it fatal.
