Thailand Pet Export Laws

Exporting a pet from Thailand is regulated by the Department of Livestock Development (DLD) and must comply with both Thai export regulations and the import requirements of the destination country.

Every country has different rules, so the required documents and procedures vary depending on where your pet is travelling.

Basic Export Requirements

Most pet exports require:

• Thailand Export Permit

• Official Veterinary Health Certificate

• Valid Vaccination Record

• ISO-compliant Microchip

• Owner Information

• Flight Information

Additional documents may be required depending on the destination country's regulations.

Country-Specific Requirements

Some countries may also require:

• Import Permit

• RNATT (Rabies Neutralizing Antibody Titre Test)

• Additional laboratory tests

• Government certificates

• Quarantine

• Special declarations

• CITES permits (for protected species)

The required documents depend entirely on the destination country's import laws.

Animal Quarantine (AQ)

Before departure, pets are normally examined by an official government veterinarian at the Animal Quarantine (AQ) Office.

The veterinarian reviews the required documents and performs a health examination before issuing the official export documentation.

Airline Requirements

Airlines may have additional requirements, including:

• IATA-compliant travel crate

• Breed restrictions

• Temperature restrictions

• Airline-approved booking

• Live animal acceptance policies

Meeting government requirements does not automatically guarantee airline acceptance.

Protected Wildlife & CITES

If your pet is a protected species or listed under CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species), additional permits and approvals may be required before export.
