- If the pet is traveling as luggage, all you need is an Import permit. For this we need up-to-date vaccinations (rabies and specific diseases), rabies serology, a passport and the owner's work visa if they are a foreigner, or ID if they are Angolan. The Import Permit takes 5/7 days and is valid for 30 days.
- if the dog is traveling as cargo - apply for an Import Permit, airport handling and export clearance. The same documents will be required as for baggage.
