TLDR : Answer Summary

Yes, you can bring pets to Thailand on a DTV visa, but the ability to do so is generally not tied to the type of visa. The main requirements relate to the pet import process including vaccinations, microchipping, and obtaining an import permit. The number of pets allowed may depend mainly on the airline's regulations. It's advisable to check with both the airline and the Thai authorities for specific rules and potential restrictions.

DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

Doing this now.

Get all updated vaccines including rabies, microchip. Send that information with your flight info, passport and a R

form.

They will issue an import permit, it took less than 48 hours for mine to come in. Write URGENT- need for airline travel.

Then make an appointment with your vet 10 days before you travel for an international health certificate. They will fedex it over night to the USDA. USDA will sign off on it and stamp it and over night it back to you. Take all those to the airport and then when you land you will take your pet to the AQS at the airport and they will do a check and you pay 510 baht for the fee.

you're very welcome! Each airport has its own email address, so make sure you email the right one. And if you are flying Qatar, be careful, they are assholes with everything. They are the best for pet travel but a PAIN.

Thank you very much for the quick reply. Do you think it would be the same if I were coming in on the visa exemption?

I don't think pets are visa related. Anyone could bring pets if meeting the requirements. As per how many, that will mostly depend on the airline side.
