 Bringing pets into Hong Kong is considerably easier than into other
Asian countries.
Pets from Australia, New Zealand, UK
and USA
are readily accepted and will be exempt from quarantine, provided the
Special Permit (Form AF240) has been applied for, and all paperwork
indicating vaccination records are in order. Pets from other countries
may need to undergo extensive quarantine periods lasting anything from
30 days to 6 months depending on your country of origin. The
Government is proposing that all imported dogs and cats will be required
to be identified by a microchip implant before arriving in Hong Kong. This information can be clarified on the
Government website listed below
Some apartment blocks may have rules relating to the keeping of pets, and
 tenants should check the
"house rules" before signing a Tenancy Agreement.
 Repatriating your pet
"back home" may prove to be a more arduous exercise for you,
and a very stressful time for your pet. We would suggest you get
professional advice before deciding to bring your pet with you.
Further information on importing pets to Hong Kong,
and all Government forms may be obtained from:
