The rules that apply to every pet entering India, whatever the origin, are listed with their official sources in our India guide.
What does Ghana require before your pet leaves?

Export Requirements | Veterinary Services Department, checked 1 October 2026 - Export health certificate: The application for the export permit / veterinary health certificate goes to the Chief Veterinary Officer, VSD; the VSD treats the export permit and veterinary health certificate as one document.
