Frequently asked questions

Can I bring my dog or cat to Taiwan?

Bringing a pet to Taiwan is difficult — expect quarantine and months of lead time. Requires quarantine unless your pet has a prior rabies blood titer test and completes a mandatory waiting period before arrival — similar to Japan's protocol.

Will my pet need to go into quarantine in Taiwan?

Quarantine or a mandatory waiting period is a real possibility — check current requirements well ahead of your trip.

How far in advance should I start the paperwork for Taiwan?

Months in advance — blood titer tests and quarantine arrangements often have mandatory waiting periods that can't be rushed at any price.

Does my airline have its own pet policy for flights to Taiwan?

Yes — check your airline's cabin/cargo pet policy separately from Taiwan's import rules, since carrier size limits and breed restrictions vary by airline regardless of the destination country's requirements.
