South Korea is a modern, densely populated country in East Asia with developed infrastructure, vibrant cities like Seoul and Busan, and nature ranging from mountain national parks to the coast. If you\u2019re traveling with a dog, you\u2019ll need a microchip, valid rabies vaccination, a veterinary health certificate, and for most dogs over 90 days old, a rabies antibody titer test. Quarantine rules are overseen by the Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency (APQA).<\/p>\n\n

A key advantage over Japan is that once you receive the titer test result, there\u2019s no waiting period\u2014the dog can travel right away.<\/p>\n\n

Also pay attention to the return home, as the country you\u2019re re-entering may have far stricter rules than South Korea itself.<\/p>\n\n

This article covers a standard non-commercial trip with a dog traveling with its owner or an authorized person. If the dog travels as cargo, is being sold, changes ownership, or travels in a larger group of animals, different rules may apply.<\/p>\n\n
