Which Colombia rules depend on a pet coming from Chile?
Colombia sets different rules for 2 groups of countries, and the official wording does not settle on its own which group covers Chile. Check the group table in our Colombia guide before you plan.
None of the Colombia rules we have verified names Chile on its own.
The rules that apply to every pet entering Colombia, whatever the origin, are listed with their official sources in our Colombia guide.
What does Chile require before your pet leaves?
- Export permit: Not required: SAG's step-by-step exit process for pet dogs and cats has four steps (check destination rules, plan ahead, gather the destination's supporting documents, request the SAG CZE). The only Chilean document is the CZE; there is no separate export permit. Any import permit is a destination requirement. Applies to pet dogs and cats leaving Chile.
