Pet travel route
Dog or cat from Bahrain to Indonesia: official requirements
Possible. There is no official waiting period, but you still need: rabies vaccination record, rabies antibody test result (protective level), health certificate from your country's veterinary authority and register with SSMQC and send Barantin's prior notice before you leave.
Rules checked up to 12 October 2026From 4 official pages
In short
- On this route: rabies blood test needed and tell the authority in advance.
Limited official guidance. The authority for leaving Bahrain publishes little for this route. Everything it does say is here, with its wording. Bahrain describes the export health certificate for dogs and cats in a few lines of the ministry's 2024 services guide (in Arabic). It doesn't say how long before departure to apply or how long the certificate is valid. The destination decides what the certificate must say, so ask the Veterinary Quarantine Section early.
Limited official guidance. The authority for entering Indonesia publishes little for this route. Everything it does say is here, with its wording. This is the Indonesian Quarantine Agency's (Barantin) own short guide for pet dogs and cats coming from abroad, published in March 2026. It lists the documents and the online steps but gives no dates: no deadline for the prior notice, no age, no wait after the vaccination or the blood test, no minimum antibody level and no quarantine period. Confirm the details with the quarantine office (Karantina) at your port of entry before you travel. Bali has its own rules: pet dogs and cats can't be brought there.
At a glance
The rules on this route are the same for dogs and cats.
How early to start
No official wait
whether or not your pet is already microchipped and vaccinated
No official wait still means appointments: rabies vaccination record, rabies antibody test result (protective level), health certificate from your country's veterinary authority and register with SSMQC and send Barantin's prior notice before you leave. Book them early; lab and paperwork times are not counted.

What your pet needs
In the order you do them. Each step says whether Bahrain (leaving) or Indonesia (entering) asks for it.
Bringing a dog or cat into Indonesia: we summarised this from a short or older official page and it is still under review, so it may be incomplete.
Get ready
VaccinationEntering Indonesia
Rabies vaccination record
Bring your pet's vaccination book showing its rabies vaccination. Barantin doesn't say how long before travel it must be given.
The official wording is ambiguous. Confirm this point with the authority.
Details and the official words
The guide asks only for the vaccination book; it gives no minimum age or waiting time.
“Dilengkapi buku vaksin dan hasil uji titer protektif antibodi rabies”
Blood testEntering Indonesia
Rabies antibody test result (protective level)
Bring the result of a rabies antibody (titer) test showing a protective level. Barantin doesn't give the level, the laboratory or how long before travel the blood must be taken; 0.5 IU/ml is the usual international standard, but confirm with the quarantine office.
The official wording is ambiguous. Confirm this point with the authority.

In the days before you travel
PaperworkBahrain and Indonesia
Health certificate from your country's veterinary authority
Your pet needs a health certificate issued by the competent official in the country it comes from. Barantin doesn't say how recent it must be; ask the quarantine office.
The official wording is ambiguous. Confirm this point with the authority.
Details and the official words
Export health certificate from the Veterinary Quarantine Section: Go in person to the ministry's Veterinary Quarantine Section with your dog or cat and say which country it is going to. Bring the destination country's import permit and your pet's original vaccination booklet. A vet examines your pet and issues the health certificate once satisfied that it is healthy for export. The fee is 5 Bahraini dinars for a personal export.
The guide lists the destination's import permit as a required document. If your destination doesn't issue import permits, ask the section what to bring instead.

Travel day and arrival
On arrivalEntering Indonesia
Report to quarantine on arrival
At the airport, port or land border where you arrive, report your pet and hand it over with its documents to the quarantine officers. If it is healthy and free of quarantine diseases, a quarantine vet releases it with a release certificate (Sertifikat Pelepasan Karantina).
Details and the official words
“pengirim/ pemilik wajib melaporkan dan menyerahkan hewan berikut kelengkapan persyaratannya kepada petugas karantina untuk keperluan tindakan karantina”
“akan dilakukan pembebasan oleh Dokter Hewan Karantina dengan menerbitkan Sertifikat Pelepasan Karantina.”
Good to know
- Your pet can't come from a country that currently has a rabies outbreak. Barantin doesn't publish a list, so ask the quarantine office if rabies is present where your pet lives.
- Guide, assistance and emotional support animals (at most 2) can travel as the owner's baggage under Barantin's 2024 baggage rules, with a letter from a mental health professional in the home country, at least 6 months of health history, rabies and distemper vaccination, a microchip or ID book, a pet passport and a rabies antibody test. Their owners fill in the All Indonesia arrival form.
