To enter Spain, your pet’s rabies vaccination must be at least 21 days old and valid at the time of travel. The vaccine must also be administered within the last 12 months, unless your pet has a valid 3-year rabies vaccine with no lapse in coverage.

If there has been any lapse in your pet’s rabies vaccination history, a new rabies vaccine must be administered, and you’ll need to wait 21 days from the date of that vaccination before your pet is eligible to travel.

Important: If your pet was microchipped after receiving their most recent rabies vaccine, they will need to be revaccinated after the microchip is placed to meet Spain’s entry requirements.

If your pet is traveling to Spain from an unlisted country, they will be required to undergo a rabies titer test (also known as a rabies antibody test). This test must be completed at least 3 months before entry into Spain.

If you choose to work with WorldCare Pet, your dedicated Pet Relocation Counselor will guide you through this process and ensure all timing and documentation requirements are met.

NOTE: It can take 4-6+ WEEKS to receive the rabies titre test results back from the laboratory.

While general vaccinations are not genrally required for entry into Spain, they are strongly recommended to protect your pet’s health and reduce the risk of illness during travel.
