What this route typically costs
Critical points
MOCCAE sets no fixed wait after the titre test result, unlike the three-month wait Great Britain requires or the CDC facility route into the United States. That makes the UAE the fastest of the three long-haul destinations covered from Venezuela on this site, on paper, though the flight itself is the real variable.
Simon Bolivar International Airport at Maiquetia has been closed to scheduled commercial traffic since the twin earthquakes of 24 June 2026. As of this research in mid-July 2026, Avianca is running a Bogota to Valencia contingency service, with Maiquetia's full recovery expected to take several months. Reconfirm the live routing close to your travel date, not months ahead.
The MOCCAE import permit's 90-day validity runs from issue, not from your intended travel date. Apply once the titre result passes and time the application close to the actual flight.

Meeting United Arab Emirates's entry requirements
Advice worth following
Work backwards from your travel date and add a buffer. Fixed waiting periods mean a single slipped appointment can push the whole move back by weeks.
Check the airline’s crate size and labelling rules early. An undersized or wrongly labelled crate is a frequent reason pets are refused at check-in.
Ask about temperature embargoes for your travel window. Summer and winter cargo restrictions can rule out certain routes and dates entirely.
Book the titre test laboratory well ahead. Approved labs have limited slots and the sample takes time to process, so this is not something to leave to the final weeks.
