I want to bring my pets overseas for a short period of time before bringing them back to Singapore. What are the required procedures?

For the temporary export of local pets overseas (i.e. pets which are purchased in Singapore or previously imported into Singapore and GST has been paid), you are required to obtain an OUT (Temporary Export of Goods) or OUT (TCI) permit to account for the exportation of your pets.
 
For subsequent return of your pets, please obtain the corresponding In-Non-Payment (Re-import of Temporarily Exported Goods) or INP (TCI) permit.

Do note that you are also required to fulfil the requirements of Animal and Veterinary Service (AVS) under the National Parks Board (NParks) prior to the export or re-import of your pets.
 
For more information, please refer to AVS's website.
