Hello everyone - maybe a bit of a weird one 🐶

But, I am hoping of making a long term move to Thailand going down the DTV route but initially coming in as a tourist. I’ve been preparing my dog for a move (she came with me from Mexico > Europe) but just noticed that the import certificate is only valid for 60 days.

Does anyone know if these dog import certificates can be extended or have experience with owning a “foreign” dog in Thailand for a period longer than 60 days? Or can dogs do “visa runs” too, seems unlikely as paperwork is so difficult to import/export in the first place.

Any advice super appreciated! Already reached out to Relo4Pets just waiting for them to get back to me and was curious to see if anyone else has been through this 🐶✨

Is this the process? Applicant applies for DTV and after approval, he/she passes their visa details to spouse who applies under applicants visa reference? Both pay a fee each? Do both need to show a separate 500,000 Baht in their accounts?

And what about dependents? Are they covered under under the applicants visa? Is there a fee to pay for them too?
