MAQIS Quarantine Inspection
About This Facility
Malaysia's MAQIS handles all pet import inspections.
Cats require an import permit from DVS, valid rabies vaccination, health certificate, and microchip.
Malaysia has a 7-day minimum quarantine for cats from most countries, served at a government-approved facility.

Practical Tips & What to Expect
Apply for the DVS import permit at least 2 weeks before arrival.
The 7-day quarantine can be served at approved private facilities which are more comfortable.
Using a licensed pet transport agent is recommended for Malaysia's complex permit process.
