It is possible to bring your pet to Thailand, providing you follow certain rules.

Here are the steps to follow to enter Thailand with a companion animal:

• First of all, you should know that Pitbull Terrier and American Staffordshire Terrier are not allowed to enter Thailand. For other dogs and cats, if you follow the entry rules and provide all compulsory documents, there will be no problem, and no quarantine.
• Make sure your pet is up to date with vaccinations and that you have a “passport” mentionning identification details (tattoo or microchip), as well as the list of vaccines and dates reminders.
• Make a request to the airline you are traveling with. Depending on its weight, your pet will travel in the hold or may be allowed in the cabin, on condition to remain in a bag during all the flight.
• Then, contact the veterinary services of Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport, stating your details, flight number, arrival date and information about your pet, also attach a copy of his “passport” . You will receive from the veterinary services a certificate to be presented both at embarkation and arrival. You will receive also an international health certificate.
• This international health certificate must be completed by your veterinarian. Within 7 days before departure, the form must be approved by the service in charged of animal health and protection within your region Veterinary Services Department.
• Do not forget to do a titration of anti-rabies antibodies. It is not essential to leave your country, but you might need it to return. This verification should be done by an accredited laboratory, and Thai laboratories will usually not be accredited.
• The day of departure, you will show to the registration desk the entry certificate issued by the veterinary services of Bangkok airport.
• Once in Bangkok, you will go through passport control, stating that you are carrying a pet and presenting the entry certificate.
• Then, you will go to the veterinary service of the airport, which is located in the baggage claim area. After checking the international health certificate, they will give you an import permit for your companion animal. It will cost you 100 Baht.
• You will then present this certificate to the Immigration, in a special office located next to the Veterinary Service. After payment of a 1,000 Baht entrance fee, you will be allowed to enter the Kingdom of Thailand with your companion.
