Montenegro
Mustelids (including domestic ferret) Regulations
Vaccinations
A valid rabies vaccination is required for non-commercial entry of dogs, cats, and domestic ferrets to Montenegro under the national rules for pet movement.
- Rabies vaccination must be documented in an EU Pet Passport or a veterinary certificate for non-commercial movement.
- Validity/timing must meet the conditions set by the issuing authority and Montenegro’s rules.
Previously required under the posted non-commercial pet movement regulation (Sl. list CG 42/2016). UBHVFP announced on 2026-04-02 that the antibody titre requirement will be lifted to align with EU rules; travelers should verify current enforcement with UBHVFP until the amending act is published.
- May no longer be required; confirm with UBHVFP before travel.
Certifications
Non-commercial movement must be supported by official documentation.
- From the EU/EEA (or where applicable): travel on an EU Pet Passport.
- From other countries: a veterinary certificate for non-commercial movement issued/endorsed by the competent authority of the country of origin.
- If traveling from the United States, use the USDA APHIS country-specific pet certificate and obtain APHIS endorsement.
Microchip
Microchip identification is required for dogs, cats, and domestic ferrets under Montenegro’s non-commercial pet movement rules.
Origin Requirements
No origin-specific requirements for this pet.
