Paperwork and Veterinary Requirements

It’s best to have Transcontinental Pet Movers or an equally qualified IPATA agent help guide and plan your pet’s pre-move preparations. For now, the following information serves as a guide in order to prepare your pet to enter Bangkok, Thailand.

Health/Veterinary Requirements

Must be completed at least 21 days before departure

Microchip

Must be administered.

• Dogs and cats must be identifiable by microchip. There are no exceptions to this rule.
• The microchip should be ISO compliant and 15 digits long.
  • If your pet does not have an ISO compliant chip, your pet will have to travel with a microchip reader attached to the crate. Alternatively, your vet can implant a new ISO compliant chip in addition to the existing non-ISO compatible chip.
  • After implanting the chip, your pet will have to be revaccinated in order for the new vaccination to be valid.

Vaccinations

All Vaccinations must be conducted at least 21 days prior to departure and be still valid on the date of departure.

• Dogs: Distemper, Hepatitis, Parainfluenza and Parvovirus (DHPP) and Leptospirosis.
• Cats: Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus and Panleukopenia (FVRCP).

Blood tests (optional)

Within 30 days of departure

• If your dog is not vaccinated against leptospira, you may opt to do the test and produce a negative test result.

Paperwork Requirements

Processed within 1-3 working days.

• All pets entering Thailand will require an import permit. This is applied when the following health and veterinary requirements have been met.

Health Examination for Health Certificate

Must be conducted 2-30 days prior to departure

• At this point in your pet’s move, one of our pet shipping specialists will pre-complete the correct health certificate and email it to your veterinarian for signature at the physical appointment. We provide all documents and are available to answer any questions and troubleshoot issues that may arise.

USDA Endorsement

Must be completed before departure

• After your pet has been examined by your veterinarian and the health certificate has been completed and signed, the health certificate must be submitted to the USDA office to be endorsed. Transcontinental Pet Movers will coordinate this process with your doctor.
• If a military veterinarian completes your pet’s health certificate, the USDA endorsement is not needed. A military veterinarian is a Veterinary Corps Officer or civilian GS-0701 series government veterinarian employed by the U.S Army Veterinary Service.

The requirements above for moving your pet to Bangkok Thailand can also be found on USDA’s website and the Royal Thai Embassy’s website
