Moving from Russia with pets and belongings
MIRNO coordinates moves from Russia to Serbia, Georgia, Armenia, Türkiye and EU countries. Routes, dates and the scope of each move are agreed individually.
Discuss my move
The same destination can call for different plans: a person flies, a large dog travels with a companion, and boxes follow separately. Start with who and what is moving, when the old home must be vacated and where you can receive your belongings.
What we work through together
The complete route
Review departure from your city, transit countries, transfers and the last leg to your new home. A listed destination does not confirm a particular departure or date.
Separate entry conditions
Check conditions for people, animals and personal belongings separately. If family members or luggage travel later, account for this in accompaniment and documentation.
Connected dates
Match document readiness to departure, collection and moving in. Discuss time buffers and possible expenses if one leg is delayed.
Destinations from Russia
These official sources are a starting point. Check requirements for the actual animals, belongings, citizenship, date and transit. Links checked on 6 September 2026.
Serbia
Planning needs an arrival point, the pets’ companion and conditions for every transit leg. Check pet requirements with Serbia’s Veterinary Directorate.

European Commission: bringing pets from outside the EUWhat to send first
A preliminary description is enough. Missing details can be clarified in the conversation.
Open preparation templates- City in Russia and destination city, preferred date and flexibility.
- Who is moving, the number of pets and whether they travel with their owner.
- Animal and carrier dimensions, and a preliminary inventory.
- Which documents are ready; a description is enough for the first message.
- Move-out and move-in dates, and whether overnight stays are needed.
From the first message to an agreement
Clarify the destination
Check feasibility from your city, transport availability and whether pets or belongings need separate legs.
Review the conditions
Check departure, transit and destination requirements, provider conditions and document readiness. Resolve open questions before the final agreement.
Agree the journey
Discuss the route, service scope, price, payments and change conditions. Record meeting and handover points, contacts and how to communicate during the move.
How we discuss cost
An estimate depends on the specific cities, dates, people, animals, belongings and transport method. Compare options across the entire journey. A proposal should show overnight stays, transfers to departure points, loading, waiting and other additional services separately.
Understand a moving estimateWhat needs separate confirmation
- Routes from Russia to Serbia, Georgia, Armenia, Türkiye and EU countries are available for coordination; specific cities, transit and dates are confirmed after reviewing the request.
- Listed destinations do not replace checking a person’s entry rights, animal admission and import rules for belongings. Border decisions remain with the competent authority.
- Veterinary procedures and preparation dates need to be agreed with a vet. A change of destination or transit country may require another document review.
Before discussing the route
What to gather before buying tickets and why the route and documents need to be reviewed together.
