Mini Namaskar eBook Written by Expat member of Mumbai Connexions
You can bring your pet to Mumbai if you follow the pet importation rules. Before you decide to import your pet, however, you should research the process for repatriating your pet to your home country at the end of your India assignment. You may determine that the quarantine requirements (e.g. 6 months of boarding in quarantine for England) would be too stressful for your pet, and that fostering arrangements might be in the pet’s best interest. You will probably need to make a special trip back home to get the pet, as bringing it before you have a permanent address in India would be challenging.
Expats can successfully bring their pets into India
Learn the two ways to get your pet here, get a detailed list of what shots, home country veterinarian certificates, and in-country paperwork is needed in a package to register your pet with the local authorities. All this and more in the Mini Namaskar Mumbai guide, the book for expats by expats!
