Bringing a pet to Laos: import rules
Laos is a low-traffic but real corridor, Vientiane sees a steady trickle of expat households, NGO postings, and returning Lao families bringing dogs and cats home. The Department of Livestock and Fisheries issues the import permit; rabies vaccination, microchip, and a vet health certificate form the baseline. Quarantine is typically waived for compliant arrivals, but coordination at Wattay International benefits from on-the-ground partner experience.
