The Dubai bridge: 180 days in the UAE, then Mickleham quarantine. Nobody else in Pakistan productizes this.

What Australia requires from Pakistan

Pakistan is treated as a high-risk rabies country by most Western destinations, so the checklist below is stricter than what pets from Europe or the Gulf face. Order matters — several steps are invalid if done out of sequence.

  1. Stage 1: full UAE import (microchip, rabies, titer, MOCCAE permit)
  2. 180 days' residency in the UAE with vaccine and vet management
  3. Australian import permit lodged from the UAE as an approved country
  4. Minimum 10 days at Mickleham post-entry quarantine
  5. Boarding, boosters, and paperwork managed across both stages

Worth knowing: This is a two-country, year-long relocation. We coordinate the UAE leg with established Dubai partners.

What it costs

A cat typically runs $10,800–$18,000 all-in on this corridor; a dog $12,000–$20,000 depending on size, airline, and season. That covers the Pakistan-side vet work, permits and export certificate, the IATA crate, the flight, and coordination with clearance on arrival. Your quote is one number — nothing stacked on later.

How we run this corridor

We sequence the paperwork backwards from your travel date: microchip and vaccinations first, the export certificate through the Pakistan Single Window in its narrow validity window, and the airline booking confirmed in writing before you pay. On departure day we handle crate checks and cargo check-in at the airport, and you get updates until the crate opens at the destination.
