Hi all. Has anyone had any experience bringing a pet into Thailand with the DTV visa? I have a pet transport agency helping me through the process, but I’d love to hear your firsthand experience. Thanks!

Planing on moving jan 2026. Family of 4. Also 2 cats 2 dogs. Any advice?

I pan on doing dtv visa for me and my husband is going to do education visa.

Also what do you think is a good monthly income for a family of 4 in bangkok or phuket? Or other cities i should look into?

The person posting that this is an image from the animal cargo bay of a commercial airline, is trying to mislead people. As you can see from the photo this is not from one of the large passenger airlines. You can see the area is small and see the curve of the walls. Please don't be fooled by misinformation.

Hi All.. I am planning to arrive in Thailand on a tourist visa and convert to retirement visa. I am bringing my cat (I have had numerous discussions with him and he does not want to stay in the UK anymore either). I was planning to arrive a few weeks before the cat but am now told I possibly need a long term visa to import the cat, contrary to previous advice. Thai authorities only seem to require a copy of passport but no visa for import licence? Does anyone have any experience on this as I have spoken to the pet relocation company and they do not have a diffinitive answer either. I would rather not stay in the UK for another 3 months, so any help appreciated…

Everything else, has anyone taken a pet out to Thailand, if so how difficult was it?.

Hello members . Has anyone on here flown a dog over to Thailand if so what company did you use and how much did it cost please many thanks 👍

Hello. This isn't quite about VISA advice but for people that have travelled into Thailand with their dog. I keep reading that Pit bull Terriers, Staffordshire terriers and even Dobermans are prohibited. The information is a bit all over the place as some claim that Thai Govt has a longer list of dangerous breeds than those mentioned. One even mentioned that there is a possibility of a special permit. My girl is a Cane Corso x Rottweiler. 🥺

Any advice?

What is involved in bringing a dog here (from USA) for tourist visit?

Hello, your group was recommended to me. I will start by telling what I hope I can do, then you tell me if its possible and how.. I am 76, in good health. I even still work. My cat and I want to move to Thailand, either Bangkok or Pattaya area. I want to buy a condo as soon as I get bank transfer.. I will need to get a bank acct, to put 800,000 in it, plus cash for condo. I get my SS from USA. But I need to do this all in one trip. I have read you have to have a resident in USA when you apply for visa. I am selling my home here in Jan 2024. I want to come to Thailand right after. I was told an AO was good, but can I do all of the above without going back to USA? I live in Florida, so it is a very long flight I don't want to make t twice. Thank you

Hi, I have been lurking for a while, reading posts and getting a feel for the vibe. I’m a

66 year old Canadian woman planning on moving to Thailand (either Chiang Mai or Koh Lanta). Right now I live in BC, and have a lot of stuff to get rid of. I also have a Jack Russell who will be almost 10 when I make the move. I am looking to talk to a Canadian who has done this. Another woman around my age would be better, having a dog another plus! But I would be happy to talk with any Canadian who has done this. Very interested in the Canadian side of things, like how can I keep a Canadian bank account without an address etc. Please DM me if you feel like sharing. TIA

EDIT: I was in Thailand last spring for 2 months, mostly spending my time in Koh Lanta and Chiang Mai. My son lives in SE Asia and I want to be closer to him. I am looking for fellow Canadians who have made the move.
