South Korea requires a government-endorsed health certificate and a rabies antibody titer test (0.5 IU/ml or higher) taken between 30 days and 24 months prior to travel. Without the test, pets will be quarantined until they test negative and are vaccinated. Microchips must be ISO 11784/11785 compliant.
