Entering "Bosnia and Herzegovina": what you need

Titer test sometimes requiredNo quarantine

As with Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina's official titer requirement is described as depending on the country of origin rather than a fixed rule — there is no precise information for Russia specifically at publication time.

Rabies titer test

May be requested depending on current border-control practice. Get the titer test done in advance using the general scheme (blood drawn no earlier than 30 days after vaccination, threshold ≥0.5 IU/ml) to avoid the risk.

Documents

A veterinary health certificate is arranged at the СББЖ and exchanged for an international one no more than 10 days before travel.

Leaving "Russia": 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 veterinary certificate (форма №1) is issued at a state veterinary clinic (СББЖ) at your place of residence no more than 5 days before departure (exam + all vaccines up to date) — only the person who will actually travel with the pet can receive it, a power of attorney isn't accepted. In Moscow and St. Petersburg форма №1 can be exchanged for the international certificate in a single visit at one institution — ВГНКИ (Moscow) or ВНИИЗЖ (St. Petersburg); elsewhere the exchange happens at the departure airport's border veterinary checkpoint (Госветнадзор), usually on the day of or 1–3 days before the flight — budget time, the queue there can take several hours, especially before evening flights. EU countries get a Евросправка, most other countries a форма №5a certificate; EAEU countries need no exchange at all — форма №1 just gets an "export permitted" stamp (see the Armenia, Belarus and Kazakhstan pages). Only vaccines legally registered in Russia count.

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.
