Einreise mit Tier: Argentinien (2026)

Key points

• Governing instrument: MERCOSUR Resolución GMC 17/15 (repeals GMC 04/96 and 05/96), applied by SENASA
• HARD EXCLUSION — no test is required, but a history of the disease bars entry outright: "Section 17 - The Member State receiving the animals shall not authorize the entry into its territory of animals previously diagnosed with Leishmaniosis." NO MICROCHIP is required by Argentina; GMC 17/15 s.18 leaves identification to each Member State and only prescribes an ISO format if a chip is used
• PUPPIES/KITTENS UNDER 3 MONTHS may enter unvaccinated: "If the dog or cat is less than 3 (three) months old, the veterinary authority must certify the age of the animal and that the animal has not been on any property where a case of urban rabies has occurred in the last 90 (ninety) days prior to shipment." RABIES-FREE ORIGIN: "If the animal comes from a country or zone declared free of rabies as established by the OMSA, it may enter if the veterinary authority issuing the CVI states this condition in said CVI or passport." TRAVELLING AS CARGO (pet not on the same aircraft) is a different regime from accompanied baggage: "The freight forwarder or the person responsible for the cargo must give prior notice or Request for Intervention to the border post through which it is to be entered within 24 working hours." and "Upon arrival at the border post, for the verification of pets entering as cargo with or without commercial purposes, the entry permit fee must be paid." Accompanied pets need neither
