SXM - New Pet Import and Travel Regulations

Pets need vaccinations, health certificate and microchip to enter St. Maarten. To travel from Statia:

Minimum 30 days before travel - Rabies vaccination, general vaccination and microchip. Make an appointment with Dr. Swanston.
Maximum 14 days before travel - Fecal test. Make an appointment with Dr. Swanston. He will check for signs of internal parasites (worms). If your pet fails the test, you must return in two weeks for another test. Think of de-worming your pet regularly.
Five days before travel - Email the application for permission to import animals as a PDF document to the following address: lvv@sintmaartengov.org. Form can be obtained from SEAWF or download here. Within 24 hours you should receive an import permit for your pet.
Two days before travel - Bring your pet to see the Statia government vet to obtain a health certificate. The government vet resides at the LVV building (near the Fire Department and in front of SEAWF building) Monday to Friday during office hours. Arrange your visit in advance. The vet will check that your pet has no visible wounds, fleas or ticks. You must treat your pet for fleas and ticks 48 hours before travel. Treatment can be purchased from Dr. Swanston.
Check well in advance of travel. Contact your veterinarian AND the airline for the latest restrictions before travel.
IMPORTANT NOTE - Pit bull terrier type dogs are no longer permitted to enter SXM.
