Let's get this sorted out so nothing goes bad and you don't have to rush out at the last minute ๐๐จ
๐ International Passport
Validity: ๐ foreverA passport is issued at a state veterinary clinic and remains with the pet for life. Like a microchip, it's a one-time, permanent device. It doesn't need to be replaced; just keep up-to-date on vaccination stickers.
๐ Titers (rabies antibody test)
Validity: ๐ Lifetime, but with a twistThe titers themselves are given once in a lifetime. But there's a catch: they only remain valid if you
regularly revaccinate your pet against rabies every year.Missed a date? That's it, the credits "burn out" and you need to retake the test.๐ข
๐ Important: After the blood draw,
a 90-day quarantine is required. Only then can you leave.
๐ Form F1 (veterinary certificate)
Valid for: โฐ only 3 daysThe F1 certificate is issued at a state veterinary clinic and is only needed for one purpose: to exchange it for an international certificate.
Three days later, the certificate becomes invalid. So don't delay!
๐ International Veterinary Certificate
Validity: ๐ 10 daysThis is your main travel document. Once you receive it, you need to leave Ukraine within the next 10 days. Didn't make it? It all starts again: new F1, new certificate, new stress ๐
๐ถ Rabies vaccination
Validity: ๐ exactly 1 yearMandatory annual booster vaccinations. Without it:
โ titers are invalid;
โ passport is invalid;
โ travel is not possible.
Set a reminder on your phone!
โจ Other vaccinations (against anything)
Validity period: ๐
from 6 months to 1 yearDepends on the vaccine and disease. Your veterinarian will usually advise you when to return for your next booster. It's important that all vaccinations are
current upon departure.
๐ Treatment for worms and ticks
Validity: โฑ 48โ72 hours before Form F1This is very strict: processing is carried out
2โ3 days before Form F1 is received. No sooner, no later. Otherwise, your documents may not be accepted.
