• Entering Azerbaijan by Air:

  All live animals must enter Azerbaijan at Heydar Aliyev international airport in Baku. Dogs and cats can fly to Azerbaijan in the cabin, as checked baggage or air cargo according toairline pet policies. In all cases, pets must travel in a crate or carrier in accordance with the International Air Transport Association. Related:Is your pet’s crate IATA-compliant? All live animals should enter Azerbaijan directly or transit through a rabies-controlled country, if possible*. If transiting, pets should stay on the same airline to avoid entering the layover country. *Note: If your pet has a layover in an EU Member State in its itinerary, then additional requirements will apply. Importers should inform veterinary officials in advance as they will need to be available to check your pet and its pet passport documentation after landing. Border officials will inspect your pet and confirm that its pet passport documentation is correct. All dogs and cats must be free of evidence of disease communicable to humans when examined at the entry airport. If your dog or cat is not in apparent good health, further examination by a licensed veterinarian may be required at the importer’s expense.

This vaccine is expiring in 2027. Will this vaccine eligible in Azerbaijan this year? I’m planning to travel with my dog to Azerbaijan in March 2025. Thanks.[[[[[Reply](#comment-478)](#comment-195)](#comment-194)](#comment-130)](#comment-129)[[Susan](https://wagsandwanders.com)](https://wagsandwanders.com)[January 27, 2025](https://www.wagsandwanders.com/information/pet-passports/azerbaijan-pet-import-requirements/comment-page-1/#comment-129)Lala – your dog’s rabies vaccination should have been administered within 11 months of entering Azerbaijan. This country does not recognize three-year rabies vaccinations. We would advise having your dog revaccinated for rabies prior to entering Azerbaijan.[[[[[Reply](#comment-478)](#comment-195)](#comment-194)](#comment-130)](#comment-129)Aylin[February 1, 2025](https://www.wagsandwanders.com/information/pet-passports/azerbaijan-pet-import-requirements/comment-page-1/#comment-194)Turk hava yolları kuduz asısının en az 30 gunden erken yapılması gerektiğini soyluyor , burada yazılanlardaysa azerbaycana girmeden 21 gun once yapılması gerektiği soyluyor.

Türk Hava Yolları kuduz aşısından sonra 30 günlük bir bekleme süresi gerektirdiğinden, evcil hayvanınız 31. günde uçabilir. Bu bekleme, evcil hayvanınızın yaşamı boyunca aldığı ilk kuduz aşısı için geçerlidir VEYA mevcut aşı uygulandığında önceki kuduz aşısının süresi dolmuşsa. Bu ikinci kuduz aşısıysa ve önceki aşının süresi dolmadan önce uygulandıysa, bekleme süresi uygulanmaz.[[[[[Reply](#comment-478)](#comment-195)](#comment-194)](#comment-130)](#comment-129)AynurMarch 8, 2025Здравствуйте.
