Importing Pets to Thailand

Thailand has specific requirements for importing dogs and cats. Understanding these rules before you travel is essential to avoid quarantine, fines, or having your pet denied entry.

Key Points for Pet Owners

Thailand allows relatively straightforward pet imports for travelers who prepare correctly. Ensure your rabies vaccination and health certificates are in order.

Avoiding Common Mistakes

The most common issues when importing pets to Thailand include: expired health certificates (must be within 10 days of travel), incorrect microchip format, and incomplete vaccination records. Double-check all documentation before departure.

Check Your Crate Before the Airport

Enter your pet's measurements and upload 3 crate photos. We apply the IATA size formula and check what is visible: bolts, door, ventilation on four sides, bowls.
