Pet Transport from Denmark to Singapore
Which Singapore rules depend on a pet coming from Denmark?
Singapore sorts countries into 3 groups, and Denmark falls in “Schedule II”.
Rabies vaccination and serology (at least 0.5 IU/ml, sample 90 days to 12 months before export). Personal imports exempt from quarantine if the pet arrives within 5 days of the owner and has lived with the owner at the same address for over 6 months; otherwise minimum 10 days' home quarantine (10 days at AQC for commercial imports).

These rules apply to that group, on top of the rules every pet follows:
- Quarantine: Schedule II personal imports are exempt from quarantine only if the pet arrives less than 5 days from the owner's entry and has lived at the owner's address for over 6 months; otherwise at least 10 days' home quarantine (10 days at AQC for commercial licences). Home quarantine conditions document is effective 18 Dec 2024. Applies to dogs and cats from Schedule II origins.

The rules that apply to every pet entering Singapore, whatever the origin, are listed with their official sources in our Singapore guide.
What does Denmark require before your pet leaves?
- Export health certificate: In most cases the private vet completes a health attestation or a background declaration; the Certificate Database, the destination's import requirements or the certificate itself show whether a private vet's attestation suffices, whether the Administration must approve or verify it, or whether the Administration must issue the whole certificate. Applies to dogs and cats leaving Denmark for non-EU countries.
