What this route typically costs
Critical points
Kazakhstan requires an import permit from KVCS regardless of origin, so apply for it as early as possible rather than assuming the health certificate alone is sufficient.
No titre test is required, but confirm which airport, Almaty or Astana, you are entering through before booking, since KVCS clearance procedures are handled locally at each.
Approved carriers for this route
Not all airlines accept live animals. We book only with carriers that handle live animal cargo correctly.
Meeting Kazakhstan's entry requirements
Advice worth following
Use an official, government-authorised vet for the health certificate, not just your usual clinic. Many destinations only accept certificates signed by an approved vet.
If this is your first international move, consider an IPATA-registered pet transport agent. They handle the documents, airline booking and crate sizing, and can troubleshoot problems.
Get your pet used to the travel crate weeks in advance. A calm, crate-familiar animal travels far better than one meeting the crate for the first time at the airport.
Confirm live animal acceptance on every flight segment before booking. Not all aircraft or connections take pets, and cargo terms can differ leg to leg.
