Planning Pet Travel From Spain to Thailand
Use this checklist to plan a dog or cat journey to Thailand before confirming a flight. It is a planning guide, not an import approval: requirements must be confirmed for the pet, arrival airport and current itinerary.
Assess Spain → Thailand travelBuild the plan before the airline booking
Thailand treats live animals as restricted goods. For travellers bringing pets with them, the official process involves documentation and animal-quarantine checks; the precise procedure depends on the actual entry method and airport.
2
Prepare the records
Keep the pet’s passport, health certificate, identification and vaccination history consistent and accessible.
3
Check import approval
Confirm the current Department of Livestock Development and animal-quarantine process before the journey is booked.
4
Assess the flight
Airline policy, pet size, carrier dimensions, aircraft and connections determine whether PETC or AVIH is possible.
5
Plan the arrival
Build in time for the airport’s animal-quarantine and customs process before arranging a final handover.
A clear service boundary
Accompanied options are assessed individually
UniPetrans assesses owner-accompanied travel and dedicated accompaniment where the animal, airline and itinerary allow it. It does not present manifest cargo as its own service.
Any proposed arrangement follows an individual review rather than a generic promise of cabin or hold acceptance.
Official sources to check for the actual journey
Import procedures may change. Use the current official information and confirm the case with the relevant authority before departure.
- Thai Customs: importing or exporting personal pets
- USDA APHIS: official destination-country guidance principle
This guide is reviewed periodically but official authorities and the airline decide the requirements for each journey.
