International Pet Relocation to Australia from Thailand

[saramsland]

Hi,

I am currently considering relocating at the end of the year. I understand its an expensive and lengthy process but would be happier to do so than leave my dog with someone else.

Has anyone had any experiences with any of the Pet Relocation services based out of Bangkok?

I would be returning to Australia.

I have edited the topic to specify to Australia from Thailand as this makes a huge difference. To my understanding the dog will first have to be moved to an approved 3rd country in accordance with that country's rules and then imported from there to Oz.  So pretty complex.

I haven't used them myself, but https://relo4paws.com/ often gets recommended. I believe there are also companies that specialise in this based in Singapore. 

FWIW a year or so ago, a colleague took her dog back to Australia and the best quote she got was $15,000 AUD. She did it herself instead, going from Thailand to Malaysia. But I don't think Malaysia is on the list anymore.

No, it is not.

 

Closest places seem to be Taiwan and South Korea

Taiwan may be an option for DIY. A short flight, the quarantine isn't too onerous (a week or so I think), and it's generally quite dog-friendly. But it would need a lot of research to be sure.
