Information on the process and paperwork needed when preparing your pet for travel to or from Thailand.
In Thailand a pet is classified as a domestic animal which means an animal raised and fed with food and water by humans. Pet travel laws can be affected by exceptional outbreaks of diseases. Recent examples are Avian Influenza (the H5N1 strain of bird flu) and Foot and Mouth Disease
Entering Thailand with a Pet
There are two ways of entering Thailand by air with a pet:
As excess baggage
Via a commercial pet carrier
Excess baggage is the cheaper option but the owner has to arrange all the paperwork.
On arrival in Bangkok it is necessary to collect the pet - sometimes it arrives on the baggage carousel. Take the pet to the Animal Import desk at the airport where the necessary paperwork must be completed. The officer will decide whether the pet needs to go into quarantine. Fees may need to be paid in order to complete the application process.
Paperwork required for pets entering Thailand
Export certificate from country of origin arranged either by the pet carrier or vet
Import permit obtained on arrival at airport in Thailand from the Animal Import desk
Identity and health certificate in English signed by a registered veterinary surgeon in the country of origin describing the: age breed, sex, colour and markings name and address of owner or kennel
Note: Animals must be resident in the country of export for at least six months before export.
Vaccination requirements
The following vaccinations are currently required, along with certificates. Check with a vet to make sure the vaccination requirements have not changed:
- Approved rabies vaccine at least 15 days prior to the departure unless the country has been free from rabies for at least the past twelve months
- Vaccine against Leptospirosis at least 21 days prior to departure
- Animals should also be vaccinated against Distemper, Hepatitis and Parvovirus at least 21 days prior to departure
- If the dog is staying in kennels it should be vaccinated against kennel cough
- Cats should also be vaccinated against Feline Enteritis and Feline Flu
Quarantine requirements
Thai regulations state that animals must be placed in quarantine for at least 30 days at approved premises at the owner's expense. However, the Royal Thai Consulate in Hull, England explains on its website that "Feedback which we have received from other travellers indicates that pet dogs and cats are not usually quarantined".
Transiting through Thailand: restrictions and requirements
The Department of Livestock Development in Bangkok lists the requirements for the transit of live animals from one country to another through Thailand. An application has to be made to a veterinary official at the International Animal Quarantine Station.
Pet Carriers
It is essential to ensure that the pet is eligible to travel not only to or from Thailand but also any other countries it may pass through.
If the animal is travelling on the same plane as its owner, try to send it as excess baggage rather than as cargo. This is generally much cheaper. The animal must travel in an approved container, which must be big enough for the animal to stand, sit and turn during the journey. The container must allow adequate ventilation. If the journey is longer than a few hours, food and drink may need to be supplied. Consult the appropriate airline or carrier for details as not all airlines will carry caged animals across borders. Enquire about the airline's services and requirements well ahead of time and if possible get agreement in writing. Allow plenty of time to check in as the authorities will go through all documents before allowing travel. The website Dogs away has up-to-date lists of routes and carriers.
