Your dog doesn't need a microchip to enter Qatar although it is recommended to have it done before you get here as they are really expensive in Qatar and it may be needed for the next country you move to.

Please contact Qatar Pet Relocators (www.qatarpetrelocators.com) who will assist you with paperwork and customs clearance if your dog comes as cargo. The import permit has to be applied for in person so you will need someone this end to do this on your behalf (preferably a pet relocator as they will know the paperwork required!).

Good luck with the move and if you have any questions about having a dog in Qatar then please don't hesitate to contact me at [email protected].
