Bringing a pet to Thailand is an exciting adventure, but there are some requirements you need to follow. First, your pet must have a microchip. This tiny device is placed under your pet's skin and has a unique number to help identify them.
Next, your pet needs to be vaccinated against rabies. This is a very important step to keep both your pet and other animals in Thailand safe. The vaccine should be given at least 30 days before you arrive in Thailand, but not more than one year before your trip.
After the rabies vaccination, you need to get a blood test for your pet. This test checks if the vaccine worked and that your pet is protected from rabies. The test should be done at least 30 days after the vaccination and not more than six months before you go to Thailand.
Once your pet has passed the blood test, it's time to get a health certificate. A veterinarian will examine your pet and confirm that they are healthy and free from any diseases. This certificate should be issued within 10 days before you travel to Thailand.
Last but not least, you need to get an import permit from the Thai Department of Livestock Development. This permit allows your pet to enter the country.
It's important to plan ahead and follow these requirements carefully. If you need help with any of these steps or have questions about bringing your pet to Thailand, please contact us for a consultation. We are here to help you and your pet enjoy a happy life in Thailand.
