Voyager avec un animal — Taïwan (2026)

Pet arriving from a non-rabies-free country — Si votre animal a séjourné dans l'un des 104 pays à risque plus élevé au cours des 6 derniers mois :

• Quarantaine: APHIA's February 2024 Quarantine Requirements set a 7-day post-entry quarantine at a designated facility for a pet arriving from a country Taiwan does not recognise as rabies-free. It can be waived in specific cases — see the plan notes.
• Test sérologique antirabique (titrage): FAVN titer ≥ 0.5 IU/ml required.
• Permis d'importation: Apply for the import quarantine permit at least 20 days before importation, through APHIA's online system at https://pet-epermit.aphia.gov.tw/ . BAPHIQ was renamed APHIA in 2023.

Pet arriving in Taiwan from one of APHIA's twelve rabies-free jurisdictions

• Quarantaine: APHIA recognises twelve jurisdictions as rabies-free: Australia, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Iceland, Japan, New Zealand, Norway (excluding Svalbard), Singapore, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the State of Hawaii and Territory of Guam of the United States. A dog or cat coming from one of them needs NO rabies neutralizing antibody titer test and NO post-entry quarantine — the 7-day stay at a designated facility and the 90-day blood-sampling window are the rabies-infected-origin rules and do not apply to you. What Taiwan asks instead: the pet must have been kept in a rabies-free country continuously for at least 180 days before entry (or since birth, if it is under 180 days old); you still apply for the import permit at least 20 days ahead through APHIA's online system; the pet still needs a microchip and a rabies vaccination given between 1 year and 30 days before import, at 90 days of age or older; and you still present the original animal quarantine certificate from your own country's quarantine authority on arrival. One trap worth knowing: if your flight TRANSITS a rabies-infected country you lose the exemption unless you can produce a document from that country's quarantine or customs authority, or from the airline, attesting the pet never left the airport and had no contact with other animals — or the crate was sealed with the seal number written on the export certificate. Without one of those, Taiwan imposes the 7-day post-entry quarantine anyway.
