Take my dog back home

[LOG54]

Hello

My dog has a chip, rabbies account, all vaccines etc..

I know I must obtain an export licence from animal center quarantine in the airport..

My question is, do I need a health certificate from a local vet on international form or do the quarantine department check the dog themselves.

I will go there one day before to avoid any last minute issue.

I know the documentation required when reaching abroad

Thanks a lot

I did this some years ago and I think you made need to read up on the process as it wasn't as simple for me as you suggest although I could be wrong and things have changed since then. If so apologies.

 

I remember going to get an export licence/certificate at least a couple of days before but I was using a company to organise.

I have just checked some old emails and found the pdf but I stress it is 8 years old at least but may help - I also discover I cannot add pdfs......

 

However please note on there it states there you are supposed to apply for the export permission a minimum of 3 and maximum of 7 days before..........

This was the relevant part -

Preparing the final documents/flight reservations for the animal:
o
Minimum 3 working days and maximum 7 days before the flight: Apply for Export Permission
(Thailand) from your local Thai Department of Livestock Development (Link
http://www.dld.go.th/webenglish/move1.html). They will also certify the health/veterinary
certificates required for traveling and entering the destination country.
o
Take along:
o
Completed Application Form for Thai Department of Livestock Development– they
will prepare the export license and Thai health certificate based on the information in
this document. You may need a Thai person to help you with fill it as it’s mostly in Thai.
o

o

Hello

Yes I did it in Thailand a few years ago.. it took some time as they send it to Germany.. I didn't do it in a so-called "pet center" specialized in attracting farangs and in a small vet it was much cheaper.. she put the chip at the same time..

@topt

Last time I took dogs out of Thailand was 20 years ago (several times). Always did alone, smooth and quick process, they just filled and stamped a form (export licence).. 5 minutes, even did not take the dog temperature.. Looked in internet after posting here and yes apparently need now deparasitation by vet 15 days before + health certificate 2 days before going.. then go to airport office..

If anyone has other info, pls advise..

Thanks everyone 

Have a good day

When moved our cat back to the US, I caved and paid an agent to handle it, I couldn't be dealing with it all

 

Curiously the paperwork and procedure to export her was a lot more complicated than the import into the US!

 

Which in many ways doesn't/didn't surprise me

I was going to send my dog back to Australia a few years back. A very long complicated and extremely expensive process. Rabbies is the issue as has been completely eliminated from Australia and they take no chances of it returning.  She is still here with me.

I was asked for an international form and went to an official vet a day prior to my flight.

Thank you.. Then nothing has changed since I did it a long time ago.. Apparently they now ask the dog to be deparasitated inside and outside 15 days before trip, then 1 or 2 days before international certificate and apply in airport.. I used also (and will) go one day before as they anyway close at 4pm so much before international flights go.. every time I did (but long time ago) it took me 10 min inside..

I don't remember if anything to pay as anyway if it was, was cheap

Have a good day
