Association Member
SEAZA membership is open to National Zoo Associations from Southeast Asian countries. Each country should be represented by a single association. In cases where multiple associations exist within a country, they should collaborate to designate a sole representative. If a country lacks a formal zoo association, a duly registered organization or company may apply for membership. It's important to note that while zoological institutions may be part of a SEAZA-recognized National Zoo Association, they do not automatically become SEAZA Institutional Members. Individual institutions must submit separate applications and be accepted to gain membership status.
Institution Member
SEAZA Institutional Members are zoos, aquariums, wildlife or marine parks, and nature or farm parks that are open to the public and located in Southeast Asia. To become a SEAZA Institutional Member, an institution must first be a member of its respective Southeast Asian country's National Zoo Association. The institution's representative in SEAZA should be a high-ranking official, such as the president, chair, director, CEO, or another authorised executive.

International Institution Member
International Institutional Members are organisations based outside of Southeast Asia, Taiwan, and Hong Kong that support SEAZA's vision, mission, and interests. To qualify, they must complete the SEAZA Animal Welfare Evaluation and Certification process and adhere to the SEAZA Constitution.
International Institutional Members may not hold positions on the Executive Board or standing committees. They may be represented on other Society committees. An official representative appointed by the International Institutional Member may attend General Assemblies, participate in discussions, but cannot hold office, vote, or constitute a quorum.
