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.
Physical Arrival Directions
MAQIS office is in the cargo area of KLIA.
Accompanied pets clear at the customs area in arrivals.
Cargo pets collected from the freight terminal with MAQIS clearance.
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.
