How to bring your pets to Thailand: costs and process. 

Thanks for vdo.

Hi, just a couple of things-import permit is not needed beforehand, you can get that on arrival but it is good to have the form filled out and with you. There are a couple of airlines that don’t seem to know this new (August 2023) rule and some people have not been allowed to board (Qatar and Turkish Air). Also, it is probably good to mention that what you did was ‘excess baggage’ and not ‘cargo’ (Cargo is much more expensive and needs an agent).

that sounds like a dream; I brought my cat from Australia and we are forced not only to fly our pets only through Qantas but also mandatory to engage a pet agent which takes care of all the paperwork on the export side. I lived in melbourne and the only flights to thailand authorised to carry live animals are from sydney - so while I could fly direct to Thailand with thai airways my cat had to fly connecting flight to sydney, stay at a cattery overnight to then fly next day Then on the Thai import side I was forced to engage a pet agent also because I did not arrive accompanied by my pet...all up damage was around 4000+ aud from Australia and about 500 aud for the Thai agent It was all totally worth it :)

My dog is 10 years old and has allergy , I am very scare to put him in a cargo hold . I am thinking to fly with KLM . During the transition from Amsterdam to Bangkok , it is a 5 hrs layover. The reservation agent said you can be with your dog and takes them for party or feed them . That is amazing.

This is very helpful, thank you for sharing this information. We’re planning to move back to Thailand from Florida. Have a wonderful day! I just hit the like and subscribed.

Thank you for making this video, it’s been so helpful 🙂

Hi 👋🏻 Im thinking of moving to Samui from the UK and bringing my cat. He’s an outdoor cat, so I was wondering if there are safe, quiet places on the island where he can roam free? Thanks

Great video, I want to take my Shih Tzu to Bangkok from Arizona, we'll fly out of LA ... I know that Korean Air won't fly this breed, but my question is, do you need an 'Agent' in Thailand to fly your pet? Hiring a company to do this is almost $6000 and $900 of that is the agent fee

Is it true that I’ll need to get the Health Certificate within 10 days of my cat’s flight?

so you didn't get your pet import and they let you in?
