Pet Relocation from US to Thailand

Thailand requires an import permit from the Department of Livestock Development (DLD) and does not impose quarantine on pets arriving from the US with proper documentation. Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport is the primary entry point for pet imports. The process is moderately complex but manageable with 2-3 months of preparation.
