What this route typically costs
Critical points
Mandatory quarantine required on arrival. Plan for separation from your pet.
Import permit must be obtained before travel. Apply well in advance.
Always verify current regulations with the destination country's official veterinary authority before travel.
Approved carriers for this route
Not all airlines accept live animals. We book only with carriers that handle live animal cargo correctly.
Why this route needs early planning
This is one of the more demanding international pet transport corridors. Myanmar runs a strict biosecurity programme and there are no shortcuts through it.
All pets must complete quarantine on arrival in Myanmar (at a government-designated facility) for 14 days days. This is non-negotiable and is entirely separate from the pre-travel preparation.
Myanmar regulated by Department of Animal Husbandry (DAH), Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation. Complex import/export processes. Expat community in Yangon.
Things to sort before you book
Microchip first, then vaccinate. The microchip must be implanted before any rabies vaccination for the vaccination to count. It’s the most common and costly mistake people make.
Book the titre test laboratory well in advance. Approved labs have limited appointment slots and the blood sample processing takes time. Don’t leave this to the last few weeks.
Get the health certificate from an official (government-approved) veterinarian, not just your regular vet. Some countries have strict requirements about who can sign the certificate. Check the destination authority’s approved list.
If this is your first international pet move, consider using a registered pet transport agent. They handle the documentation, airline booking, crate sizing, and can troubleshoot issues. IPATA-registered agents are the recognised standard.
