Take your dog or cat to Switzerland from Morocco: FSVO import authorisation, titration test, ONSSA certificate and arrival via Geneva, Zurich or Basel.
Part of Pet transport from Morocco to Europe
For pets coming from a rabies-risk country such as Morocco, direct arrival by air requires an FSVO import authorisation. Accompanied pets enter via Basel, Geneva or Zurich; unaccompanied pets (cargo) only via Geneva or Zurich. A titration test is mandatory and pets under 7 months are not admitted. Switzerland also bans importing dogs with cropped ears or docked tails.

Frequently asked questions
Can I arrive in Switzerland via another airport?
For a direct arrival from Morocco, no: Basel, Geneva or Zurich if the pet travels with you, Geneva or Zurich if it flies as cargo. The FSVO authorisation must be obtained before the flight.
Why is a titration test needed from Morocco?
Morocco is a "non-listed" third country for rabies in the EU. The titration test proves the vaccine works; the blood draw must happen at least 30 days after vaccination, then you wait 3 months before entry.
Can my pet travel without me?
Yes. If you do not travel within 5 days of your pet, the move becomes "commercial": a TRACES certificate and cargo shipping are required. We handle these formalities and the hand-over on arrival.
