Relocating to Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi, or leaving Vietnam with your cat or dog? We coordinate the arrival quarantine check, export documents and flights for both directions.
Your pet's origin or final destination must be Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore or Vietnam. Transit alone does not qualify. As long as Vietnam is the origin or final destination, the other country can be anywhere.

What a Vietnam move usually involves
This overview helps you prepare before you speak to a coordinator. The final checklist is built for your route, airline and pet.
Moving to Vietnam
Pets entering Vietnam are checked by the animal health quarantine office at the airport of arrival, based on the documents issued in the origin country.
A veterinary health certificate issued close to departure and endorsed by the exporting country's authority.
Microchip, rabies vaccination and other vaccination records, checked against the destination's timing rules.
Quarantine declaration and inspection on arrival, usually in Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi.
Airline acceptance for the route, confirmed before the documents are timed.
Moving from Vietnam
Pets leaving Vietnam need an export quarantine certificate from the animal health authority and must meet the destination's import conditions.
Export quarantine certificate from the animal health authority.
Some destinations ask for a rabies antibody (titer) test and a waiting period, which can add several months.
Destination import permit, where required.
Airline booking as cabin, checked baggage or cargo, depending on the airline, route and pet size.
What most often changes the plan
Direct flights that accept pets are limited on some Vietnam routes, so the airline often decides the travel date. We check options before the vet timeline starts.
Requirements change and differ by the other country on the route. A quote does not replace authority approval or airline confirmation.
How we coordinate the move
Step 1
Route check
Send the origin, final destination, target month and your pet's profile. We confirm the route is in scope and map the Vietnam requirements for your direction of travel.
Step 2
Document sequence
We order the microchip, vaccinations, any testing, health certificate and permits so everything is still valid on the flight date.
Step 3
Airline & flight
We check which airlines accept your pet on this route, as cabin, checked baggage or cargo, then lock the date.
Step 4
Arrival
Our partners coordinate the quarantine inspection, customs and handover at the destination.
Does my pet need quarantine when arriving in Vietnam?+
Pets are inspected by the quarantine office on arrival. Whether any holding period applies depends on the documents and the pet's condition, so we check the paperwork against current requirements before the flight.
Can you help me move my pet from Vietnam to another country?+
Yes. Vietnam as the origin is within our coverage, whatever the destination. We coordinate the Vietnamese export certificate with the destination's import rules and the flight.
Which routes do you cover?+
We coordinate moves where the pet's origin or final destination is Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore or Vietnam. The other country can be anywhere, subject to route availability. A transit stop in one of these countries does not qualify on its own.
What do I need to send for a quote?+
The origin and final destination, your target month, the pet's species, breed, age and weight, and any microchip and vaccination records you already have. That is enough for a first route check.
