Hi, 

At the start of August, I will be moving from the UK to Almaty, Kazakhstan. I am in the process of getting my dog and cat ready for travel, however I am a little confused by the travel criteria. In some places it states I will need an import permit from Kazakhstan and in others it states I do not. 

Does anyone have an experience in this area or can offer any first hand experience, this would be much appreciated.

I will not be using a pet travel service, instead using an OV (official vet) and the pets will travel on the plane I travel on with airstana. 

Many thanks, 

Hannah
