CRITICAL ALERT: This route requires 121 days minimum due to the 90-day Rabies Titer () wait, and your flight is in 60 days. Delay flight or face quarantine.
Your latest compliant veterinary start date was Sep 1, 2026. Arriving in Oman without meeting the full 90-day Rabies Titer (FAVN) wait triggers border refusal, mandatory quarantine detention, or re-export at owner expense unless your pet already holds an active, microchip-linked rabies vaccination and endorsed FAVN blood test.
Oman prohibits in-cabin commercial pet arrivals. Your Golden Retriever (30 kg) is eligible to travel as Manifest Cargo via Air France KLM Martinair Cargo in an IATA Series 500 (102 x 69 x 76 cm). Book through an IPATA freight agent 7+ days prior to departure.
