We must first note that this is an area of the world where pet scammers abound. If you do not know your breeder, be very careful about purchasing the puppy by wiring funds or buying cash cards.

That said, your puppy must be vaccinated for rabies not sooner than 3 months of age and wait for 30 days before transport. It will also need a health certificate issued in English or bi-lingual with English being one of the languages within 10 days of transport.

You will need to find an airline that flies your entire route (short layovers are ok, but do not change airline companies along the way) and contact their cargo department. Your puppy will need to fly in a crate similar to these and be sure and get a good crate pad: https://www.pettravelstore.com/pet-crates/
