It's really hard travelling with pets; just the paperwork/rabies vaccine/serology test, and in many places may need quarantine.
Also it may be fine if the airline allows your cat/dog to travel with you, but for the majority you'll need to check them into the cargo hold (and they may not even be on the same flight)… #stress

how easy is it to travel in Peru with a cat? I'd be flying from Mexico

One thing to note is taking a pet out of Mexico requires some time. You basically have to go through the same process as when they come in. Arrive at the airport early to accommodate this (I made this mistake and barely made my flight)

kpagcha2mo

thank you!

kpagcha2mo

I didn't realize you need extra time to handle this when flying in Mexico? other than having your documents straight

nomadtax2mo

As in you can't just walk in with your pet.

nomadtax2mo

In Bulgaria and Austria, no one cared. We just walked right in

kpagcha2mo

so they need to process something in the airport before leaving? other than presenting the documentation requirements at the boarding gate

nomadtax2mo

Yes. I went to the check in counter and they sent me to the airport animal control. That's where they check all the docs

kpagcha2mo

oh I see. thanks!

kpagcha1mo

yqqnknryfy hey again! do you remember if you had to send a bunch of random information to SENASICA 3-5 days before your departure? or that's what they had you process on site in the airport?

kpagcha1mo

I'm talking about a 5 page "export" form...

nomadtax1mo

Doesn't sound familiar

I met people who moved to Tbilisi in Georgia for a year with their cat. They said it was a pretty easy process. But this probably varies from country to country

kamos29d

i did move w my dog from Europe to Brazil

renatoautore28d

in Australia is a nightmare

debbiec28d

i’m originally from brazil but move around with my dog since 2014 – we’ve been to 4 continents so far. we’ve been to thailand too, it’s totally doable

gigi2928d

For those of you who've been able to book airbnbs with a small pet... are there secrets to doing this? I'm having such a hard time with the constant "no pets" policies!

levelsio28d

So in Thailand we booked regular place (this was during covid tho so maybe easier) and a bit on the luxury/expensive side and then in the message say we have 2 cute young well behaved Korean cats (as they were) and if they could stay too. Even better if u send photo of them

levelsio28d

We did have problems where the cats scratched the bed and couch in both places. We paid $300 in both for damage. Kinda annoying. We did have scratch board and toys but cats gonna be cats

levelsio28d

Just make sure you're willing to take responsibility and pay for damges in case they happen

levelsio28d

I moved 2 cats from Korea to Thailand. Make sure you fly with them not separate cargo

gigi2928d

Ahh true about the damages! I guess it'd be good to mention that in the opening message to reassure them. I like the idea of a pic! thanks 🙂 going to keep trying

levelsio28d

Maybe avoid mention damage in opening msg. But just mention your dog/cat is rly polite and well behaved

levelsio28d

Also obvi places without carpets better

hey everyone... friend of mine posted this in another group - thought I'd try and help him out
Has anyone here lived a digital nomad lifestyle for 6-18 months with a dog? If so, any tips and trick and locations? I'm strongly considering leaving the US and want to start spending longer periods outside of the US but I don't want to leave my dog behind.

chriszeunstrom27d

Most likely can't go to a lot of islands with stricter rules, which they often have about animals. If you are going to go the airplane route out of the US the dog will likely have to be in cargo and not sure how I would feel about that.

chriszeunstrom27d

We are in the process of moving from Costa Rica to Portugal this summer and the pets make it more expensive for sure.

chriszeunstrom27d

You can also do what it seems most are doing these days and just getting a service dog vest on Amazon and having them come on the plane for free if they aren't awful.

chriszeunstrom27d

I would maybe also look at overlander type of trips down central america into south america with stops, those look epic and always have dogs involved.

gfragin27d

Thanks

gfragin27d

byvexwpmfkhpibfv would you be open to discussing with Daniel

bvbsjliiq i’ve been living as a digital nomad with my dog since 2014 (for 5 years I actually traveled with two dogs).

they traveled on hold of the plane most of the time (or trains and cars, of course) and I never had any issues in over 30 flights.

I’ve lived in Thailand, Mexico, over 15 countries in Europe (not only schengen) and Brazil. it’s totally doable – but most people will say it’s not possible 😉

debbiec26d

btw, most countries and airlines don’t allow ‘emotional support pets’ on planes unless you’re blind, this is mostly a US thing

gfragin25d

zqvaqvwwnaufjvch thanks -his name is Daniel France
