Bringing your dog from Luxembourg to Singapore
Bringing a dog to Singapore needs an AVS import licence, a microchip, rabies vaccination and — for most EU/UK/US origins — a rabies serology test. Quarantine is generally not required if fully compliant.
Singapore's requirements depend on your country's rabies category. For most EU/UK/US/Canada origins (Schedule II), you need a rabies vaccination AND a rabies serology test (RNATT), plus an AVS import licence. Post-arrival quarantine is generally not required if fully compliant — but the serology and licence take time, so start early.

The 6 steps, in order
1. Implant an ISO-compliant microchip
Have an ISO 11784/11785 microchip implanted. All documents and tests must be linked to this number.
2. Rabies vaccination
Vaccinate the dog against rabies after the microchip. Keep it valid through to entry.
3. Rabies serology test (RNATT)
Required for Schedule II origins (most EU/UK/US/Canada). Blood sampled after vaccination and analysed at a WOAH-reference or approved laboratory. A waiting period after sampling may apply before import.
4. AVS import licence
Apply for the AVS import licence (you first need a dog licence to keep a dog in Singapore). The licence is required before travel.
5. Veterinary health certificate
Have the required veterinary health certificate issued and endorsed by the government authority of the country of departure, shortly before travel.
6. Travel to Singapore
The dog arrives with the import licence and documents. Generally no quarantine for compliant Schedule II animals.
