Hello everyone!

I am British but a resident of Greece for 9 years.

63 now and looking at moving to Thailand, Hua Hin to be specific.

I will be selling up here and have a balance of around 140.000 euro but pension is not payable until 2030.

Is it possible to get on a plane with my 2kg dog and start the whole visa 0/non (l think) from scratch when l arrive?

I do not want to start anything in Greece as notoriously difficult to do anything with paperwork here.

Was thinking that l could get an agent to help me once l am there?

Is anyone having problems getting a USDA health certificate for importing pets to Thailand in time with the stupid US government shut down?

Okay folks, strange question. I have 13 cats, live in America and want to retire there on retirement visa. I have a lot of time in Thailand, studied the language at a Thai temple in USA and love it there. I am 56, high income/assts, so no issues with getting the visa. The issue is my cats that I will not separate from. I do animal rescue and will be doing this until I die. The cats are all spayed/neutered, and just domestic breeds I rescued from death row at shelters, found on the street hurt, et cetera. Thank you in advance, Gary

Hi All.. I am planning to arrive in Thailand on a tourist visa and convert to retirement visa. I am bringing my cat (I have had numerous discussions with him and he does not want to stay in the UK anymore either). I was planning to arrive a few weeks before the cat but am now told I possibly need a long term visa to import the cat, contrary to previous advice. Thai authorities only seem to require a copy of passport but no visa for import licence? Does anyone have any experience on this as I have spoken to the pet relocation company and they do not have a diffinitive answer either. I would rather not stay in the UK for another 3 months, so any help appreciated…

My other half is returning from Russia soon and wants to bring her cat. Trying to find info is sketchy, at best.

Anyone know if it’s possible for either the cat to quarantine with her anywhere, or can I pick up the cat while she’s whisked away to her ASQ?

Hi does anyone have any advice for importing pets? I'm hoping to travel to Bangkok from Belfast with two dogs. I think I've got an agent for the export but wondering what I need for the Thai side? Also any airlines youd recommend?

Do you have any tips on bringing pets to Thailand from the UK and how does this all work within the idea of quarantine? Thankyou
