Programme overview
VESTA® is created by the Pet Airport Authority in cooperation with participating Ministry of Agriculture agencies. It standardises sanitary and health-document checks so your animal's paperwork is reviewed before departure, not at the border.
Pre-clearance
Documents are vetted against your destination's entry rules ahead of travel.
Veterinarian verified
Health and rabies records are certified by Official Export Veterinarians.
Fewer border delays
An approved authorisation reduces customs friction and port delays.
