Preparing for Bangkok's 2026 Pet Ordinance: Microchipping & Pet Registration Made Easy

Following the official announcement of the 2024 Bangkok Animal Control Ordinance, pet owners across the city are showing increasing interest in pet microchipping and registration. With enforcement starting in January 2026, AnyVet is here to help you understand what you need to know and how to comply.

📌 What Is the 2024 Animal Control Ordinance?

The new ordinance aims to control the pet population in Bangkok including dogs, cats, and other domesticated animals to prevent stray animal issues and promote responsible pet ownership within the urban community.

📌 Why Is Pet Registration Required?

Pet registration is more than a legal requirement it builds a better system for pets, owners, and society.

✅ Benefits of Pet Registration:

• Accurate animal population data allows the government to plan public programs like:
  Free sterilization programs

  Free vaccination programs

• Each registered pet receives a unique microchip ID, linking the pet to a central database

  Helps reduce the number of strays and abandoned animals

• Controls the number of pets per household or area

  Reduces environmental and sanitation impact in city communities

💬 Already own more pets than allowed? You may explain to authorities no need to relocate or abandon your pets.

📌 When Does Registration Begin?

• The 2024 Ordinance will take effect on January 10, 2026

• Currently (as of 2025), only dogs are required to be registered

• Starting 2026, all dogs and cats must be registered within:

  • 120 days of birth

  • 30 days of ownership (if adopted or purchased)

📌 Who Must Register?

All dog and cat owners living in Bangkok must comply.
The 2024 version of the ordinance expands coverage beyond previous legislation.
