We brought our two dogs over from the US. We had a bit of a nightmare experience with Qatar Airways and wound up having to hire someone to bring them over. We used Pawsitive Pet Transport Flight Nanny Services and she was AMAZING.

You can bring in a pet regardless of what visa you have, can even do it on visa exempt. I have traveled with my cat a few times back and forth between Thailand and EU. You don’t need an expensive agency it’s a pretty straightforward process. Ask me anything ☺️

what country are you in? My agency is from Manila, so I doubt that will be useful to you. It cost just over a thousand USD for 2 dogs. Not bad

Anonymous participant yes because I had all the paperwork in order and requested the import license beforehand so it was ready when I arrived. Last time (July 2024, Phuket airport) the processing was done in 10 minutes tops

great thanks for your input. Definitely putting my mind at ease. I have already paid the agency, which for me, is necessary since I’m bringing 2 dogs and I want to be thorough about it.
