I’m planning my vacation to New York for one week with my pet and now currently processing my travel visa.
do you think there will be no problem with my application?

If you have advice and suggestion feel free to share, it will be a great help for me. Thank you in advance.

Edwin - we cannot advise you on issues related to human visas. You may want to contact the Embassy in your country.

Yes you must be contact the Embassy in your country. But I think that you don't have any problem. Also when you arrive to NY you can stay in some hotels that are friendly with pets.

Yes, you can take your pet with you whenever travelling to the US. If you are travelling from Middle East countries then you can try Qatar Airways but some type of breeds are not allowed in this and from other countries then you can try Air Canada, American Airlines, JetBlue and other. Before heading to this you better know the restriction involved in this just to avoid the consequences.

Yes, you have to notify the Embassy in both your country and New York and ask the explicit requirement, such as rabies vaccine. Also, if you travel by airplane, confirm your fight alllows to dog at least 48 hours before flying. If you want to fly with your dog in the cabin instead of cargo, it's better to register it as ESA asap. More information click on: www.supportdogcertification.org/esa

We would note that the airlines will require a letter from a medical professional such as a psychiatrist and several of them require that you file forms online. You can find ESA policies for many major airlines here: https://www.pettravel.com/blog/index.php/emotional-support-service-animals-airline-policies-and-how-they-are-changing/. Simply registering your ESA is not enough.

Hi Edwin253. I saw your message. I'm also a Junior Member of the forum. I'm really into this subject as I have a dog with me too. I had travelled to the USA with my pet. I just wrote useful information on my Medium profile. Feel free to check I hope it will help.

Guide: medium.com/@darkoivanoski/a-guide-to-taking-your-dog-to-the-us-d0c7c5c6c5e7 that can help you.

I hope it will guide you regarding transport, travel and some other required requirements.

Thank you!

The Covid 19 pandemic is still there. In my opinion the current travel topic should be stopped. To ensure the health of yourself and those around you.

Thank you, BenjaminDare - we appreciate your opinion. COVID will be controlled at some point. In the meantime, citizens are returning to their countries and others have to travel for work and other reasons and they should self quarantine once reaching their destination whether it is mandated by ordinance or not. By providing pet owners the opportunity to post their questions or experiences, we are not encouraging unresponsible travel. The forum is a resource only and will be available long after the pandemic is over.

Anyone who owns pets understands the pain that comes with leaving them behind when leaving home. This is usually the case when flying. Leaving a pet at home when you go for a trip is the same as traveling without your family. Indeed, your pet is one of your family members. Thankfully, you don’t have to stress over this issue anymore. JetBlue pet policy has made it possible for pet owners to fly with their animal companion on board.

Unfortunately, the days of ESAs flying om commercial airlines are coming to an end. The DOT Amendment to the Airline Carrier Access Act has eliminated protections for emotional support animals.
