Entering Laos by Air

Pets may enter Laos by air via Wattay International Airport in Vientiane. Pets can arrive in the cabin, as checked baggage or as air cargo.

Your pet is not allowed to be exposed to other animals if they have to be landed in transit at any approved intermediate port. They shall not be allowed to leave the secure area of the airport except to an officially approved transit quarantine area.

All domestic dogs and cats must be free of evidence of disease communicable to humans when examined at the entry airport. If your dog or cat is not in apparent good health, further examination by a licensed veterinarian may be required at your expense.

Whenever your pet travels to a foreign country like Laos, it is always advisable to carry some form of identification indicating ownership of your pet.

If your pet is entering Laos from a high-rabies country, they may be subjected to quarantine at approved premises for a period of at least 30 days upon arrival during which they shall be submitted to tests and/or treatments deemed necessary. The importer/owner shall be fully responsible for the incurred expenses.
