Hi,
I am in the process of moving my cat over to Singapore (from Canada). As we are already over here, we are using a pet transport company to ship him and do all the pre-departure health checks/requirements. (CAD 1850)
But if we had been in Canada, we would definitely have brought him over as excess baggage. (CAD 650!)
It is a long flight and we have been advised that they will use KLM as it allows the animal a 4hr layover in Amsterdam to get fed/watered etc.
With regards to the paperwork on this side, it is rather easy and you do not need to pay anyone to do this.
1) First contact the AVA (Agri-Food and Vetrinary Authority) here in Sing and book a place for your pet at the quarantine station. If you know your dates, its worth doing this in advance.

2) Within 30 days of the pet's arrival, you can apply online for a import permit to bring the pet into Sing. (takes 2 days to get this). The airline will need to see this as will the quarantine station.

3) As we are not using a local clearing agent, we will need to go to the airport, sign the forms and hand the cat to the quarantine folks who will then take him to the quarantine facility.
I know it all seems really complex when you are trying to do this from abroad but I have found our contact person at the AVA very helpful.
