Fiji pet import/export requirements are as follows:
First you have to apply for an import permit which will be examined by BAF (Biosecurity Authority of Fiji) Vet for approval or non approval. A BAF Import Permit is required for cats and dogs being imported into Fiji from all countries.
BAF also requires all animals to be transported by air to Nausori Airport. Booking for place in the PEQ should be made 6-8 weeks before the entry so that space allocation could be made.
Cat or dogs imported into Fiji must go into quarantine.
The length of time in Fiji quarantine can vary depending on the country of export and the pre-entry preparations involved.
For Australia and New Zealand, the quarantine period is 7 days provided the animal is healthy throughout the confinement period.
For other countries a mandatory minimal quarantine period of 30 days is required.
A Rabies Monitoring and Surveillance Policy is in place for countries other than Australia and New Zealand in that after release from quarantine a 10-day monitoring interval will be in place for 5 months, followed by another inspection after 9 months of entry into Fiji, and finally one more 12 months after entry. The animal is free to move around Fiji after its release from quarantine and the monitoring and surveillance for 1 year does not restrict the movement of the animal. After the one year the pet will no longer require monitoring and is then truly free.
Home quarantine may be considered only after the 30 day mandatory period. Please note the home quarantine is not applicable for cats and dogs from Australia and New Zealand. These animals undergo 7 days mandatory Post Entry Quarantine (PEQ).
Airlines may have separate and additional requirements. Check with your airline to determine what requirements they may have, if any.
