Moving your dog from Australia to Thailand has a 9-month process. Most people find this out 4 months before they're planning to leave.

The FAVN rabies blood test takes 3 months from blood draw to result. Before that, the microchip has to be placed and the vaccine administered in the right sequence.

The Thai import permit runs on its own timeline. Get any of it wrong and the dog misses the flight.

Full 9-month timeline, all 7 required documents, cost breakdown, and a bonus interactive Murphy's Checklist - 33 items across every phase of the move. Built from researching the actual move with my own dog, Murphy.
