Hi everyone!

I was wondering if anyone here has ever done a visa run with their pet, and what the experience was like.

I’m on a METV and planning a short trip around mid–late November (haven’t decided on the destination yet). I’ll be traveling with my small dog (5 lbs, in-cabin only), and I’m trying to understand what the process looks like in terms of paperwork, airlines, and re-entering Thailand smoothly with her. Leaving her with a sitter would only be a last resort.

Any insights, tips, or advice from those who’ve done this would be really appreciated!

Thank you in advance 😊

Hi everybody

Does anyone know if you are allowed to bring pets over on a DTV visa? If you can are there any restrictions as to how many?

I'm researching bringing our Chihuahua to Thailand with me from the US. Anyone have tips for making this process smoother. He's tiny and ancient and would need to come in the cabin with me. I've already got an appointment at a USDA certified Vet. And so far, I've found that Saudia Air only allows pets in Cargo area not inside Cabin. That's what I flew last time to Thailand, obviously there's tons of other airline options for stopover. Thanks!

Has anyone brought a cat into Thailand recently or specifically Phuket via sandbox ? I can hand the cat over on arrival to someone so it doesn't have to come to the hotel .... Any info on what is needed or how to go about it much appreciated
