Pet Transport from Cambodia to Vietnam
A pet travelling with you into Vietnam is declared in person at the border-gate animal quarantine office, which checks the exporting country's certificate. The simplified route covers no more than two pets. Vietnam Airlines launched four flights a week between Hanoi and Phnom Penh, on top of its Ho Chi Minh City service.
