Importing a Dog into Thailand

[up-country_sinclair]

Hi,

We're trying to bring our dog back into Thailand from Europe, and one of the documents that they are asking for at Suvarnabhumi animal control is an "original Official Health Certificate" from a vet in the country of export.

 

I can't get my head around the idea that Thailand allegedly doesn't have it's own form for this, but I've been told that I'm wrong and there is no Thai form.  OK, so what's supposed to be on this official health certificate?  No one at Suvarnabhumi can/will say, apparently. ????

 

Help, please.  

 

If you've imported a dog or cat into Thailand, what document did you produce for this "original official health certificate", and what aspect of the animal's health was included on it?

 

Thanks very much.

I'm positive your local vet will have some idea of travel/vaccination/health form that is likely used for international travel

You're probably right.  I'll call them today to find out.

But I still think it's bizarre that a country like Thailand, which has a government form for everything, doesn't have one for importing an animal into their country.

So, we got the import permit from the Thai government today and attached to the email was a list of requirements for the "Official Health Certificate".

 

Problem solved.

Good advice.

Especially keeping meds for ticks and heartworm up to date.

It's probably worth registering with a decent local vet (if you can find one) and ask them about a vaccination regimen to protect your dog(s) from rabies / parvo etc as applicable.
