Question for people who have brought pets to Thailand from USA. I was wondering what the process was like with airlines + Bangkok airport regarding pet docs. We’ve been planning to bring our two cats (indoor, never go outside) and had read through all the requirements (shots, import permit, health certificate, etc.) but just recently had our process brought to a halt by the vet that we had gone to originally.

We leave in less than two weeks but now the vet is saying they won’t do the health certificate unless we go get another round of shots and then wait 21 days, which is past our departure date and all of our flights + accomodations are non-refundable and already booked.

We have certificates and receipts of their vaccinations for rabies + feline panleukemia from last month but it seems like there’s a chance that even with a new vet we might not be able to get the health certificate in time.

From what I read about most things in thailand, it sounds like certain laws are followed very strictly while others are more loosely followed / can be solved with paying a fee and talking and I was curious what it’s like for pet import. Thanks in advance.
