Transporting Pets in and out of Kuwait
Moving can be overwhelming, but the worst part can be worrying about how to get your pet in or out of the country you are going to/ leaving.
If you are coming or going to Kuwait – you are in luck. There is a wonderful woman, an animal lover and supporter of the Animal Friends League in Kuwait, who provides pet importation and exportation services, Pet Passage. She walks you through what you need in terms of paperwork, and helps you get the documents you must have to bring your pet in or take it out.

If you are calling from another country, yes, the phone number is correct; Kuwait phone numbers have one more number than most other countries.

Here There and Everywhere 
If you are coming back to the US, there is a company called PetAir that is really good. They transport all kinds of animals from large zoo animals to racehorses to housepets. We used them both times we brought our pets back from Germany. I’m sure you can find them online.
Moving cats from NZ to Kuwait and our experience in July 2009. To export animals from NZ requires an export certificate to be issued by NZ MAF. This certificate can only be issued when the country the animals are going to has an agreement with NZ MAF (called an OMAR) on the technical details the animals must meet. Kuwait has no (or we have not found it) details sufficient for NZ MAF to write the OMAR. So what this means is that you cannot export animals directly to Kuwait from NZ. We then had to select another place in the Middle East as an importer and we selected Bahrain as our destination. This was after researching Dubai (very very expensive import and export fees) and Abu Dhabi, less expensive than Dubai but Bahrain (Dr Nonie) has reasonable fees. This lack of an OMAR between NZ and Kuwait has added about NZD$2000 to the cost of shipping our two cats. Hope this of help to anyone contemplating moving animals to Kuwait from NZ.
Thank you Momcat!
Thank you, Christopher. God bless you for going to all that trouble, keeping your cats with you! And thanks for this information for those coming from NZ.
