Non‑commercial movement is limited to a maximum of five pets. If more than five pets travel and the specific competition/exhibition derogation is not met, the movement is treated as commercial and must enter via designated veterinary border inspection posts. Document and identity checks for travellers are performed at designated points of entry in Latvia (confirm current locations with PVD or Customs).

Additional safeguards may apply for animals originating from certain countries (e.g., dogs/cats from Australia regarding Hendra virus, and from Malaysia regarding Nipah virus). Check PVD guidance before travel.
