FAQ
How long does pet relocation to Costa Rica take?
Plan for 30–90 days from first vet visit to arrival, depending on your origin country's export rules and Costa Rica's import requirements. Rabies-vaccine and titer-test windows are the usual bottleneck.
Can I fly with my pet in-cabin to Costa Rica?
It depends on your airline, your pet's weight, and the breed. Verified pet-movers on Arriva can tell you the current cabin vs cargo rules for every major carrier and help you pick the safest route.
Do I need a broker at customs?
For most pet imports into Costa Rica a licensed customs broker or authorized pet-relocation agent handles clearance so your pet isn't held longer than necessary. Your Arriva pro will either handle this directly or introduce a trusted partner.
How does Arriva verify pros in Costa Rica?
Every pro on Arriva goes through government ID verification, reference checks, and — where the service requires it — business license and credential review. Ongoing review moderation keeps profiles honest after they go live.
