Which Hungary rules depend on a pet coming from Canada?

The EU sorts non-EU countries into groups, and Canada falls in “Listed third countries and territories, Annex II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/636”.

No rabies antibody titration test needed. Animal health certificate, microchip and rabies vaccination still required; entry through a travellers' point of entry with documentary and identity checks. Montenegro and Serbia were added by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/1228. The EUR-Lex text of 2026/636 lists the USA as including American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and US Virgin Islands. Official source

The rules that apply to every pet entering Hungary, whatever the origin, are listed with their official sources in our Hungary guide.

FAQ

Common questions

No routine quarantine is required in Hungary for pets arriving with correct documentation. However, if your pet arrives without the right paperwork, penalty quarantine can apply. Get everything right before you travel.
No. Canada is a listed third country for EU pet travel, and a pet from a listed country needs no rabies antibody test and none of the three-month wait that follows one. That wait is the longest fixed period in an EU move, so this is the difference between about four weeks of preparation and about five months. What you do need: an ISO microchip implanted before the rabies vaccination, a rabies vaccination at least 21 days before travel, and an EU animal health certificate issued by an official vet within 10 days of travel.
Your pet needs a government-issued veterinary health certificate from an official vet in Canada. The certificate must be issued within 10 days of travel. Present the original (not a copy) at check-in. Check Hungary’s authority for the exact format required.
