Which Thailand rules depend on a pet coming from Hong Kong?
None of the Thailand rules we have verified names Hong Kong on its own.
The rules that apply to every pet entering Thailand, whatever the origin, are listed with their official sources in our Thailand guide.
What does Hong Kong require before your pet leaves?
- Export permit: Not required: AFCD does not restrict the export of dogs and cats and no AFCD export permit is needed; the destination's own import permit and rules still apply. Applies to dogs and cats leaving Hong Kong.
Import and Export of Animals and Animal Products: frequently asked questions, checked 1 October 2026 - Export health certificate: For destinations other than the EU and UK, a registered vet issues the animal health certificate (normally within 10 days before departure, or as the destination requires) and AFCD endorses it; endorsement takes one working day, an AFCD-issued official certificate two working days (page revised 26 January 2026). Applies to dogs and cats leaving Hong Kong.
The issue of an official Animal Health Certificate, checked 1 October 2026 - Export health certificate: AFCD only examines animals and issues its own official health certificate when the destination specifically requires an official veterinary examination. Applies to dogs and cats leaving Hong Kong.
Import and Export of Animals and Animal Products: frequently asked questions, checked 1 October 2026 - Other conditions: AFCD fees (schedule dated 26 January 2026): endorsement or alteration of a health certificate HK$155; official examination of a single mammal HK$410 plus a HK$1,960 visiting fee where applicable.
