Entering "Georgia": what you need
Bringing a dog or cat into Georgia from third countries is governed by the National Food Agency (NFA) under a dedicated regulation — the rules depend on whether the country of departure is on the NFA's "approved" list. Not to be confused with exporting a pet that already lives in Georgia, covered in the "Leaving the country" block below.
Vaccinations
Minimum age at vaccination is 12 weeks; protection starts no earlier than 21 days after completing the manufacturer's primary vaccination protocol.
Rabies titer test
Required when entering from a country not on the NFA's "approved" list (similar to the EU's listed-countries scheme): threshold ≥ 0.5 IU/ml, blood drawn no earlier than 30 days after vaccination, and entry no earlier than 3 months after the blood draw. Not required for direct transit or a single stopover from an "approved" country.
Documents
An identification/veterinary certificate (per the Annex 4 form) recording the vaccination, the titer-test result (if required) and the microchip, certified by a vet. Up to 5 animals per non-commercial trip.
Entry notes
A microchip is mandatory — an ISO 11784-compliant transponder readable by an ISO 11785-compatible scanner (HDX or FDX-B). Quarantine isn't standard practice for animals with a complete document set — temporary isolation (up to 6 months) only applies by NFA decision for non-compliant animals.
Leaving "Georgia": 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
the certificate is issued by the National Food Agency — the request can be filed online in advance, the document is issued shortly before the flight. Tbilisi airport handles animals under the standard international-carriage procedure.

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.
