Importing a pet cat to Belize

New Topic Newest First

I have read and re-read the BAHA Web site and cannot find the blank application form to bring a pet into BZ (just a form showing what to put on the form); and not where to send it. No reply to the following to BAHA:

Please email us a copy of your "Application Form" to bring our pet cat into Belize June 28. We plan to have the International Vet Certificate, and the rabies vaccination certificate within the specified dates for the cat. Also we will notify the health inspector at Belize International Airport two days prior to our arrival. We just need the form and where to email it.


The phone lines to BAHA seem always busy. Has anyone gone through this process and can help us get started.

Thank you,

Cat lovers

Go to BAHA.BZ. Click on the home page link. An oval comes up with different areas in it. Click on the word "animals". There is a hyperlink that says"applications". Click on that and the application comes up.

Thank you for this info. I had tried the "application" hyperlink a couple of times. Yes the form comes up full of instructions for it but not a blank form. Also no instructions of what to do with it ???

What am I doing wrong?

Hi RV:

I also am importing our pet cat to Belize.
Got instructions from BAHA.
Send me your email and I will attach instructions.
Also, when the form comes up on the hyper link, put your cursor on Applicant, Importer and Exporter.

Then hit the back space button on your computer, this will blank out all the writing,

Then print off the page, fill it in by hand, scan back to your computer ans send it to BAHA as attachment.

Hope that helps.

Thanks, buckiboa, I was ending up on the wrong part of the site every time. Got there by just typing www.baha.bz and nothing else.

If you send the application to BAHA and it gets to the correct person you will receive the form back with a approval stamp on it that you need to print off and show the animal officer at the airport. I just went through what you are going through and finally sent the email to the right person and got a response in two days. Make sure you have your current International vet certificate and rabies vac proof. Other than that it was really easy.

Glad to hear that Jasper's move went well. I think that old posts just get left up for people to browse and get info from them.

Old posts aren't removed, the whole idea being that people can browse and not ask the same questions every month, so many newbies come on and ask question that have been answered ad infinitum , if they just took a few minutes to check back on the forum they would have most of their questioned answered.
