No. Animals are allowed to enter without documents, identification and vaccination. Any necessary veterinary measures, such as rabies vaccination and subsequent isolation, will be determined and ordered after entry. A certificate (Common Health Entry Document – CHED) from a border inspection at the external border of the EU would be enough to enter Austria with your pet.

There are several airlines that allow flying with a pet onboard. It is up to each airplane to establish regulations and additional tariffs. Therefore we advise you to get in contact with the specific airline you plan on using.

The general rule is that pets (together with their crate) which remain below a certain weight may be carried in the cabin, whereas pets exceeding such threshold weight must be carried in the cargo area.

An electronic microchip for dogs is mandatory throughout Austria. The insertion of the microchip is carried out in Austria by veterinarians.

In addition, you must register or report your dog at 2 places:
• Pet database (you can register your dog online or with a veterinarian).
• Dog registration with the city of Vienna

For the registration and notification of your dog you need:
• Microchip number
• ID card (please upload your "ID card for displaced persons" in the online form for dog delivery registration)
• Residential address
• Liability insurance (for a sum of at least 725.000 Euro)
