1. Export permit: MECC says animals not covered by CITES still need the required permits to be exported from Qatar; its 'Export Non-CITES Animal Permission' service (Hukoomi, for citizens and residents, free) issues them, and there is an annual export limit for each animal type. Dogs and cats are not named on these MECC pages, so confirm with MECC that a pet dog or cat goes through this permit (read in Chrome 2 October 2026). Applies to animals exported by citizens and residents (non-CITES species).

2. Export health certificate: The Ministry of Municipality's e-service for Hayya card holders, which issues veterinary health certificates and pet permits, handles both import and export of cats or dogs: the applicant logs in with a Hayya card number and chooses import or export when submitting (Hukoomi service 'Request Pet Import Permits for Hayya Card Holders', Ministry of Municipality, published 23 October 2022, read in Chrome). The page does not mention any endorsement step. Applies to dogs and cats of Hayya card holders leaving Qatar.

Other conditions: Hukoomi's 'Owning Heritage Animals and Pets' life moment, for citizens and residents, gathers its animal services online and free of charge, including MECC's export permissions for animals not covered by CITES. Dogs and cats are not named on these MECC pages, so the pages do not confirm that a pet dog or cat export goes through this route (read in Chrome 2 October 2026). Applies to animals exported by citizens and residents through the Hukoomi 'Owning Heritage Animals and Pets' services (dogs and cats not named).
