New rules for transporting animals on airplanes

In this article, we offer you recommendations when visiting Azerbaijan for foreign citizens during a pandemic.
For a year now, Azerbaijan has remained closed to ordinary tourists, but 2021 began with good news. Air traffic between countries such as Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, Turkey is being resumed in stages and this is very good news for people who want to visit Azerbaijan. Before being sent to Azerbaijan, you will need to pass a PCR test 48 hours before the flight, the result of which must be negative. If you will be traveling with your pets, there are also some rules to follow. Unfortunately, you will not be able to take your pet on board. During a pandemic, all animals are transported in the luggage compartment.

To register animals, you will need to send the information below to callcenter@azal.az
1. Pet passport
2. Information about vaccinations
3. Certificate from the veterinarian
4. Your ticket number
5. Dimensions of the cage in which the animal will be transported
6. Weight of the pet with the cage
7. Sex and age of the animal.
Then you need to wait for a confirmation response.
When transporting by land, the rules for transporting animals are somewhat different from the above.
You should present your passport and a certificate from the veterinarian, but you should take into account that all documentation about the animal will have to be translated into Azerbaijani.
All the positive statistics that are emerging in Azerbaijan suggest that ground communication will resume in the near future. When visiting Azerbaijan by your own car, you will need to leave a security deposit at the customs post. The amount of the security deposit for your car will be about the same as the cost of registering the car. When leaving Azerbaijan, your deposit will be returned to you. More detailed information can be found on the official websites of AZAL and the State Customs Committee.
