Another traveler specifically asked about vaccinations and documents for a small dog. In practice, people usually prepare a pet passport with vaccination records, especially rabies, and confirm the exact requirements with the transport operator, since rules differ for flights, trains, and car transfers.

There was also a question about staying long term in Nha Trang with a very small dog like a Yorkie. That highlights that, for a longer move, travelers usually need to sort out the full pet paperwork in advance so there are no issues with the flight, transfer, or accommodation check-in later.
