Taking a family pet to Brunei

Ih, and this is from 2005, but can also be interesting.

Travelers coming to Brunei with pets must obtain a permit, prior to importation of the animal, by requesting entry from:

Veterinary Officer Department of Agriculture Bandar Seri Begawan Brunei Darussalam Tel: (673) (2) 382080

Include with the letter a health certificate and a certificate from the veterinary authority of the exporting country stating that the country has been free of rabies for a period of six months prior to date or export of the animal(s). The clinic requires at least two weeks’ notice before the pet’s arrival. Mail the letter to the Administrative Officer, who will forward it to the clinic.

Quarantine is not required for pets that have been living in and are arriving from the United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, and other parts of Borneo. If arriving from other parts of the world (including the United States), the pet is quarantined for 6 months, but cases can be considered individually and the length of quarantine may be reduced. The Embassy has had some success in getting pets released to home quarantine after a few weeks; however, there is no guarantee this practice will always be followed. No fee is imposed for incoming pets, but an outgoing fee of US$1 is charged for each pet. Pets must arrive in Brunei as cargo. If you plan to bring a pet, please consult the Administrative Officer well in advance. Bruneians consider dogs unclean, and will not touch a dog or enter a home with a dog present."
