Bringing a pet to Taiwan: import rules

Taipei and Kaohsiung receive a steady flow of pet imports from expat households, academic exchanges, and returning Taiwanese families. BAPHIQ requires microchip, two rabies vaccines, and a rabies titer with a 180-day wait. A short post-arrival quarantine often applies. The regulatory tone here is methodical, the path is well-trodden but requires precise timing from the very first vet visit.
