Why I Started This Service

I started this in 2018 after seeing friends struggle with the government's confusing permit process. At my hotel job, they called me "The Solution" - and that's exactly what I wanted to be for travelers bringing pets and boats to The Bahamas.

Having grown up here, I know the system inside and out. I deal with the government bureaucracy daily so you don't have to. It's that simple.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our permit services

Permits are now issued per trip instead of per pet. This means that all pets in a single trip will be covered by your permit.

One (1) - Two (2) Business days from the time I apply for it. We also offer expedited same-day processing for urgent travel needs.

No. Service dog permits and other pet permits are processed the same and have the same requirements.

You'll need vessel documentation (Coast Guard or state registration), proof of insurance, passport copies for all passengers/crew, and customs clearance forms. We can guide you through the entire process.

As of 2025, fees are: Vessels under 50ft = $500/year, 50-99ft = $1,000/year, 100ft+ = $3,000/year. Vessels 50ft+ also require AIS (Automatic Identification System).

Ellen Nee

"Wellington's service was extremely necessary for us. We attempted to UPS our application and money order to the Department of Agriculture independently weeks before our date of travel and did not seem to get confirmation.

We contacted Wellington and he was able to get the application processed in a very short time after we provided our dogs updated records and fee. We highly recommend taking the stress out of coordinating your pet's travel permits when traveling to the Bahamas by using his service."

"This service saved the day for us. I live in a remote area of the Florida Keys and the only place to get a money order was our grocery store where their machine had broke down and they weren't planning on replacing it. They even asked me why would I need a money order in today's age?

I found Wellington searching online for other options and he is awesome. He was very quick to respond, kept me updated throughout the process, and I had my pet permit approved in 5 days!"

DISCLAIMER

Bahamas Pet Permit is a third-party service and does not issue pet permits for the Bahamas. We assist by submitting applications on your behalf to the government department responsible for approval. The final decision rests solely with that department.

Permits typically take 2–5 business days to process once submitted. In some cases, they may be issued sooner. However, we recommend applying at least 2 weeks before travel to allow for any unforeseen delays.
