5. Import Permit/ Health certificate
Any animal inbound to Malaysia, the animals must have an
Import Permit and Health Certificate endorsed by a Government Veterinarian. We
have been receiving many cases lately where animals entering Malaysia without
import permit and health certificate endorsed by Government certificate,
particularly from Europe (Norway and Belgium). This is to notify the
public that Malaysia cannot accept PET Passport yet.
