Availability of Quarantine Space

Due to surge in demand for quarantine space, AVA wishes to advise that SAQS is very heavily booked.

In order to avoid disappointment and to ensure that your travel plans for your pets are smooth, owners whose pets need to be quarantined should apply for quarantine space at least 3 (three) months in advance of anticipated arrival of the pets in Singapore. 

Your pets will be placed on the waitlist and AVA will inform you of space availability approximately one month prior to your indicated date of arrival of your pets.  

To facilitate the allocation of quarantine space for your pets, owners/agents are required to submit the following information with your pet's quarantine space application:
        
            -    Pet's rabies vaccination records
            -    Rabies serology test report, if applicable

Upon confirmation of the quarantine space, you may proceed to submit your application for the import licence online via AVA website and the Application & Acceptance Form for quarantine space of your pets.
 

Step by step instructions:

Step 1 – Make reservation of quarantine space (at least three months in advance of anticipated arrival) with AVA by submitting the completed reservation form, pet's rabies vaccination records and rabies serology test report, and approximate date or period of arrival.  Please provide contact details (telephone number and email address) which AVA is able to send confirmation and other information to you.  A Quarantine Reservation Code (QRC) will be given upon receipt your reservation.  Please contact AVA if you do not receive an acknowledgement of your application within 3 working days.

Step 2 – AVA will confirm availability of quarantine space approximately one month prior to date of arrival of your pets.

Step 3 – Submit application for import licence through e-CliPS as soon as you receive the confirmation of space reservation.  Please attach the Application & Acceptance Form for Quarantine Space in your application through e-CliPS.  The form will serve as confirmation of the intent to bring in your pet on the specified date.  Failure to do so could result in the space being forfeited for others.

For mixed or cross breed dogs, a coloured photo of the dog showing the face and body clearly must be attached in your application.  This is to help AVA to verify that the dog is not a breed which is prohibited from import into Singapore.

Important note:

Please note that the space allocated may not be in order of your QRC.  To speed up the process, please ensure that documents and information submitted to AVA are complete.  Insufficient or incomplete documents, or frequent changes in date of arrival may result in delay of quarantine space allocation.
