Moving to Jordan from Peru with a dog or cat means starting the paperwork months before your flight.
This route is moderately involved, with a clear checklist to follow. Start preparations at least 20 weeks before your travel date – some steps have fixed waiting periods that cannot be shortened. A rabies titre test is required, which adds a mandatory waiting period after your pet’s vaccination. You cannot speed this up.
We’ve laid out every step below so you know exactly what to prepare and when.

Things to Know Before You Book
Understanding Jordan's pet import rules
Compared to some international pet transport routes, Peru to Jordan is manageable. That said, every country’s rules are different and the timing requirements are strict.
Jordan regulated by Ministry of Agriculture, General Directorate of Veterinary Services. Expat community in Amman. Process relatively straightforward for cats and dogs from approved countries.
From experience: Peru to Jordan pet transport
Microchip first, then vaccinate. The microchip must be implanted before any rabies vaccination for the vaccination to count. It’s the most common and costly mistake people make.
Book the titre test laboratory well in advance. Approved labs have limited appointment slots and the blood sample processing takes time. Don’t leave this to the last few weeks.
Get the health certificate from an official (government-approved) veterinarian, not just your regular vet. Some countries have strict requirements about who can sign the certificate. Check the destination authority’s approved list.
If this is your first international pet move, consider using a registered pet transport agent. They handle the documentation, airline booking, crate sizing, and can troubleshoot issues. IPATA-registered agents are the recognised standard.
