We are thinking of staying in Thailand on a retirement visa for 6-8 months a year, but we are looking at taking our small dog and possibly cat with us.
Does anyone know how hard (or easy) it is to import/expert our animals from France/Europe?
TLDR : Answer Summary
Bringing pets from France to Thailand is generally manageable, provided you have the necessary vaccinations, a microchip, and a rabies titer test completed within the correct time frame. While importing pets is relatively straightforward, exporting them back can be complicated due to potential quarantine requirements in EU countries. It's advisable to maintain up-to-date vaccination records and potentially utilize services like Relo4Paws for assistance. Ensure to check accommodations for pet policies as well.
