Relocating to Thailand: pets, schools and moving

Bringing dogs and cats into Thailand

• File form R.1/1 with the animal quarantine station at the port of entry at least 7 business days before departure. The station takes about 5 business days to issue the permit once documents are complete.
• Attach a passport copy, flight itinerary, a photo of the pet, and an English vaccination record showing the microchip number and veterinarian details.
• Dogs: rabies, distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus and leptospirosis vaccines. Cats: rabies and feline panleukopenia.
• The import permit is valid for 60 days, and a health certificate from a government veterinarian in the origin country is required.

After a first vaccination the animal must wait 21 days before travel, and a first rabies vaccine must be given at 12 weeks of age or older. Conditions vary by origin country.

Schools and family documents

• Translation and certification of birth certificates, school transcripts and children's vaccination records
• Dependant or student visas aligned with the parent's visa
• Admission is the school's decision; we make sure your file is complete
