There are many friends who like pets very much, so they will choose to buy a pet to accompany them while studying in Korea.

Raising a pet while studying abroad will indeed add a lot of fun to your study abroad life, but keeping a pet can also bring some problems.

For example, if you return to China during the winter and summer vacations, you can’t take care of your pets, or you are about to graduate and return to China, you can’t arrange the stay of your pets... With this guide, you can easily take your pet to the sky!

1 Injecting the chip

The General Administration of Customs has implemented new regulations on the entry of pets from May 1, 2019.

According to the regulations, if you want to bring your pet back to China, the first thing you have to do is to inject chips into your pet's body.

This chip is mainly used to record the identity information of pets. At present, this can basically be done in pet hospitals in Korea, so you can find a more formal pet hospital to do it.

Attention! The chip injected for pets must comply with the international standards ISO11784 and 11785.

or if you are not very good at Korean, you can directly explain to the pet hospital that you are a foreigner and you must bring your pet back to your country so that the pet hospital will know what you are coming for .

2 Rabies Vaccine

If you want to bring your pet back to your country, you also need to provide proof of pet vaccination against rabies.

This vaccine should be an inactivated virus vaccine instead of a live virus vaccine, so everyone must pay attention to the difference between the two vaccines.

Inactivated virus vaccine needs to be vaccinated twice, with an interval of more than 30 days between each time. After the vaccination, be sure to record the date of vaccination, drug code and other information.

4 After the airport quarantine

5 Bring your pet on the plane

After all the above 4 points are settled, everyone can quietly wait for the pet on the plane.

There are two main forms for bringing pets on the plane, one is to check in the aerobic cabin, and the other is to bring it into the cabin.
