Taking a pet out of Thailand · By destination
Taking a pet from Thailand to Denmark
Denmark applies the standard EU entry rules for a pet arriving from Thailand, so plan the timeline around the titer test.
Last updated 30 May 2026
This guide was last reviewed in May 2026. Export rules — Thai DLD procedures, destination-country requirements and airline policies — change without notice. Use this as orientation, then confirm every current requirement with the DLD and the destination country's authority before booking.
Entering Denmark
For the EU, Thailand counts as a non-listed third country. Entry requires an ISO microchip, a current rabies vaccination, a rabies titer test — the blood sample taken at least 30 days after vaccination, from an EU-approved laboratory — and then a three-month wait from the sample date before the pet may travel. An EU third-country animal health certificate completes the paperwork.
For the shared EU rules that apply to every member state, see our exporting a pet to the EU guide.
The Danish Veterinary and Food Administration oversees pet entry. Denmark does not apply the special tapeworm-treatment rule, but confirm the current requirements with the Danish authorities before you book.
The Thai side and your timeline
All of this sits on top of the Thai export process — the DLD health certificate and export permit — which your pet must clear on the way out. The two sets of paperwork have to agree.
If you came the other way, see our guide to From Denmark (import).

Frequently asked
Is the three-month wait avoidable for Denmark?
Only if a valid rabies titer test is already in place, with the rabies vaccination kept current. Otherwise the three-month wait from the blood-sample date is unavoidable.
Who should I check the current rules with?
The Danish Veterinary and Food Administration for the destination side, and the Thai DLD for the export side. Check both before booking, as rules change.
