Bahamas Chatter: New pet policy
New pet policy
Posted: 15 Oct 2017 03:11 PM PDT
I downloaded the form and instructions to receive a permit to bring my dog to the Bahamas. I sent a money order for $15 ($10 for the application and $5 for the fax service). It has been about 5 weeks ago and still no permit. I noticed on this site the the fee has gone up.
Am I still covered? How do I get my permit if they don’t fax it to me? Is there a time frame for the vet’s health certificate? Is a shot record sufficient? Can I get the permit when I get there?
Any response and help is GREATLY appreciated.
Thank you

Yes, you did it all correctly. Unfortunately, the process does not seem to work unless you FedEx the form and payment to them. Everyone that I have talked to had the same experience. You can try calling them, but do’t expect much. I don’t know where in the system they get lost, but it is your problem to get it fixed. So break out $90 and send it by FedEx. They will have it ready in a day or two. Also, when you got to get your money back on the money order there is a fee that uses up most of what you spent in the first place. Sorry
