Dog arrival guide
VIGIAGRO Federal Inspection
Brazil's primary international airport for pet imports. VIGIAGRO conducts all animal import inspections. Dogs require a health certificate within 10 days of departure, valid rabies vaccination (30+ days old), an International Zoosanitary Certificate (CZI), and clearance from MAPA. No quarantine for dogs from most countries with current documentation.
Hours
VIGIAGRO: 24/7 at GRU
Dog-Owner Tip
IMPORTANT: Brazil requires the health certificate endorsed by your origin country's government vet AND by the nearest Brazilian consulate. This consular endorsement step is unique and catches many owners off guard — allow extra time. The CZI must be in Portuguese or with certified translation.
Facility map
Map the animal facility, not just the passenger terminal.
The critical address is usually the cargo, animal reception, quarantine or border-inspection facility. Use this as a starting map search, then confirm the exact entrance with the airline, facility or receiving agent before travelling.

Before the flight
Send document scans early where the facility offers pre-checks, and confirm whether the airline treats your dog as cabin, checked baggage, AVIH or manifest cargo.
After landing
Wait for clearance updates. Cargo and animal reception facilities are often outside passenger terminals and may need a taxi, car or agent appointment.
What to carry
Bring photo ID, original veterinary documents, microchip details, airway bill numbers, agent contacts and a charged phone.
