Taking a dog or cat out of Indonesia: official requirements

What Indonesia asks before a dog or cat leaves: the steps and their timing, every destination with how long it takes, and coming back.

In short

Limited official guidance. Badan Karantina Indonesia publishes little for this route. Everything it does say is here, with its wording. Indonesia's Quarantine Agency (Barantin) describes taking a pet abroad in a short article (July 2026) and on its export procedure page. They list the documents and steps but give no dates: no deadline for the online application, no wait after the vaccination or the antibody test, no minimum antibody level and no validity for the certificate. Ask the Barantin office at your airport or port of departure (WhatsApp +62 811-1920-336) before you travel.

Under review. Part of this process is not yet confirmed. Ask the official authority how it works for your route.

Leaving Indonesia

The steps

What the authorities in Indonesia ask before your pet leaves, mostly the health certificate and who has to sign or endorse it.

  1. Vaccination

    Vaccination book with the rabies vaccination

    Dogs and cats carry rabies (Barantin calls them HPR), so Barantin asks for your pet's vaccination book. Vaccinations can be given by the veterinary authority or an accredited vet.

    Details and the official words

    “Jika termasuk Hewan Pembawa Rabies (HPR) seperti kucing, anjing dan lainnya maka harus dilengkapi dengan buku vaksin dan hasil uji titer protektif antibody rabies.”

    “Sedangkan untuk vaksinasi dan uji titer dapat dilakukan di laboratorium otoritas veteriner/ terakreditasi.”

  2. Blood test

    Rabies antibody test showing a protective level

    Barantin asks for the result of a rabies antibody (titer) test showing a protective level, done at a veterinary authority or accredited laboratory, whatever the destination. It doesn't give the level, or how long after the vaccination the blood must be taken; 0.5 IU/ml is the usual international standard, but confirm with Barantin.

    The official wording is ambiguous. Confirm this point with the authority.

    Details and the official words

    “Hasil uji titer protektif antibody rabies.”

    “Jika termasuk Hewan Pembawa Rabies (HPR) seperti kucing, anjing dan lainnya maka harus dilengkapi dengan buku vaksin dan hasil uji titer protektif antibody rabies.”

  3. Paperwork

    Veterinary certificate from the national veterinary authority, and disease test results

    Get a veterinary certificate issued by Indonesia's national veterinary authority and the results of any tests for animal disease agents, to hand to Barantin with your application.

    The official wording is ambiguous. Confirm this point with the authority.

    Details and the official words

    The pet article lists the veterinary certificate and the disease test results for every pet. Barantin's general export procedure asks for them when the destination requires them. Ask Barantin which tests your destination needs.

    “Sertifikat veteriner yang diterbitkan oleh otoritas veteriner nasional,”

    “Hasil pengujian kausa penyakit hewan,”

    “Menyerahkan dokumen apabila dipersyaratkan negara tujuan, dapat berupa”

  4. Notice

    Report the trip through Barantin's PTK Online

    Report your plan to take the pet out of Indonesia through PTK Online (ptk.karantinaindonesia.go.id), registering an account first if you don't have one, and upload the veterinary certificate, the disease test results, the vaccination book and the antibody test result. You follow the application and pay the fees (PNBP) by e-billing in PTK Online, never to a personal account.

    Details and the official words

    “Pemilik/ pengirim melaporkan rencana pengeluaran hewan melalui PTK online (ptk.karantinaindonesia.go.id), jika belum memiliki akun, silakan dapat melakukan pendaftaran terlebih dahulu,”

    “Menyerahkan dokumen yang dipersyaratkan yaitu : sertifikat veteriner, hasil pengujian kausa penyakit hewan, buku vaksin, dan hasil uji titer protektif antibody rabies,”

    “Seluruh proses permohonan karantina dapat dimonitor melalui PTK Online, juga untuk pembayaran Penerimaan Negara Bukan Pajak (PNBP) dilakukan melalui e-billing, bukan ke rekening pribadi.”

  5. Official stamp

    Barantin Animal Health Certificate at the airport or port

    Report and hand your pet over to the quarantine officers at the official airport or port for the quarantine check. If your pet meets the requirements and is free of quarantine animal diseases, Barantin issues the Animal Health Certificate. The examination costs 10,000 rupiah per dog or cat and the certificate 5,000 rupiah (Finance Minister Regulation 27/2024); other quarantine services cost extra.

    Details and the official words

    “Melaporkan dan menyerahkan anabul kepada petugas karantina di bandara/ pelabuhan resmi, untuk keperluan tindakan karantina hewan,”

    “Jika setelah tindakan karantina hewan, anabul memenuhi persyaratan dan bebas HPHK maka diterbitkan Animal Health Certificate,”

    “Untuk biaya PNBP dapat dicek pada Peraturan Menteri Keuangan No. 27 th 2024”

For a dog; choose Cat above for cats. Grouped by the time for a pet with nothing done yet. “Already vaccinated”: microchipped, with a rabies vaccination still valid. Only the official waiting periods are counted: “No official wait” still means vet visits and paperwork, and appointment times come on top. Hover over a time to see the rule that sets it.

What it costs to leave Indonesia

Notes

Good to know

  • Your pet must also meet any other technical requirements of the destination country's authority. Barantin issues the export certificate only when the pet meets the requirements and is free of quarantine animal diseases. If your pet travels in the cabin, check the airline's own rules and fees.
  • Leaving from Bali: Bali's 2010 governor regulation on moving rabies-carrying animals forbids moving dogs and cats kept as pets (a 'commercial' purpose in its terms) out of a regency or city in Bali where rabies is present, whether to an area with rabies or without. It doesn't say whether this covers taking your own pet abroad, or which areas count as having rabies today. Ask Bali's agriculture office (Dinas Pertanian dan Ketahanan Pangan) and the Barantin office at the airport before you plan the trip.Applies when: you travel from Bali (Indonesia)
  • Guide, assistance and emotional support animals (at most 2) travel as the owner's baggage under Barantin's 2024 baggage rules. Leaving Indonesia, they need a health certificate if the destination country asks for one.

Questions owners ask

What do I need to take my dog or cat out of Indonesia?

On the Indonesia side: vaccination book with the rabies vaccination, rabies antibody test showing a protective level, veterinary certificate from the national veterinary authority, and disease test results, report the trip through Barantin's PTK Online and Barantin Animal Health Certificate at the airport or port. The destination’s own requirements come on top; the route pages combine both.

Who signs the export paperwork in Indonesia?

Report and hand your pet over to the quarantine officers at the official airport or port for the quarantine check. If your pet meets the…

How early should I start when leaving Indonesia?

It depends on where you go. For a dog with nothing done yet, the official waiting periods allow Bahrain, Canada and Costa Rica in no official wait, and Japan in about 7 months. Vet and appointment times come on top.
