Vaccinations
Description:

Rabies vaccination requirements are governed by the EAEU Veterinary Health Certificate (Form No. 15) used for entry to Belarus. The Belarus MFA page mentions vaccinations not later than 2 weeks before departure, while APHIS/Form 15 guidance uses a 20‑day timeline for certain vaccinations. Where timing differs, travelers should follow the EAEU Form 15/APHIS timelines used for border checks.

  • Ensure the pet’s rabies vaccination meets the timing required by EAEU Form 15 (APHIS guidance indicates 20 days before travel for an initial/primary vaccination).
  • Carry proof of rabies vaccination as part of the EAEU Form 15 documentation.
Certifications
Description:

Personal pets must travel with the EAEU Veterinary Health Certificate (Form No. 15). The certificate must be completed by a USDA‑accredited veterinarian and endorsed by USDA APHIS. APHIS indicates the clinical exam, certificate issuance, and endorsement should occur within 5 days of travel. APHIS Q&A notes that electronic veterinarian signatures and APHIS digital endorsements are accepted for Belarus.

  • Have a USDA‑accredited veterinarian perform a clinical examination within 5 days of departure.
  • Have the veterinarian complete the EAEU Form No. 15.
  • Obtain APHIS endorsement of the completed certificate prior to departure (electronic endorsement accepted).
  • Travel with the APHIS‑endorsed EAEU Form No. 15.
