Pet travel route
Dog or cat from Bali (Indonesia) to Kuwait: the rules
Possible. With nothing done yet, start at least about 3 months ahead for a dog. The main steps: microchip number on the certificate, rabies vaccination and other vaccinations and 6 more.
Rules checked up to 14 October 2026From 9 official pagesGet an alert if these rules change
In short
- Dogs and cats differ on this route: choose Dog or Cat to see just yours.
- On this route: rabies blood test needed, import permit needed, parasite treatment before travel and tell the authority in advance.
We’re re-checking these rules. An official source they rely on has changed since we last verified them, so something here may be out of date. Before you book or travel, confirm the details with the official authority.

Limited official guidance. The authority for leaving Bali (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), on its export procedure page and in its 2024 regulation on quarantine procedures. 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.
Limited official guidance. The authority for entering Kuwait publishes little for this route. Everything it does say is here, with its wording. Kuwait's Public Authority for Agriculture Affairs and Fish Resources (PAAF) has no page we could reach, and its pet rules aren't on Kuwait's e-government portal either. These rules come from PAAF's own model health certificate for dogs, cats and ferrets (October 2026 version, published by the US Department of Agriculture for pets from the US), the Kuwaiti embassy in Japan's answer about PAAF's import permit, and the UK's guidance for its Kuwait certificate. We apply PAAF's certificate to every country of origin, but the certificate agreed with your country may differ. None of these sources says how long before travel the health certificate may be issued (except from Japan), whether a microchip is compulsory, the minimum age, or how to apply for the permit and what it costs. Contact PAAF (info@paaf.gov.kw) and your own veterinary authority before you travel.

What your pet needs
In the order you do them. Each step says whether Bali (Indonesia) (leaving) or Kuwait (entering) asks for it.
Dogs
Bringing a dog or cat into Kuwait: we summarised this from a short or older official page and it is still under review, so it may be incomplete.
Get ready
IdentificationEntering Kuwait
Microchip number on the certificate
PAAF's certificate records your pet's microchip number (10 to 15 digits). Have your pet microchipped before the rabies vaccination so the vaccination and the blood test can be matched to it.
The official wording is ambiguous. Confirm this point with the authority.
Details and the official words
The certificate has a box for the microchip number but doesn't say in words that a microchip is compulsory or when it must be implanted.
“Microchip No.: 10 to 15 digits”
VaccinationBali (Indonesia) and Kuwait
Rabies vaccination
Pets from countries with rabies must be vaccinated against rabies with a vaccine made to WOAH standards, following the vaccine maker's instructions. The vet records the date, the vaccine, its maker, batch and expiry, and the period of validity on the certificate. The vaccination must still be valid when your pet arrives.
Details and the official words
PAAF's certificate asks for the vaccination for pets 'originating from countries considered infected with rabies', but we couldn't find PAAF's list of such countries, so the plan asks for it from every country: ask PAAF if your country is rabies-free.
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.
“Dogs, cats, and ferrets originating from countries considered infected with rabies.”
“Only vaccines produced in compliance with the recommendations of the WOAH Terrestrial Manual should be used.”
“Vaccination or Re-vaccination should be carried out in accordance with the recommendation of manufacturer.”
“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.”
VaccinationEntering Kuwait
Other vaccinations
Dogs: parvovirus, distemper, infectious canine hepatitis and leptospirosis (Icterohaemorrhagiae and Canicola). Cats: panleukopenia, rhinotracheitis and calicivirus. Given according to the vaccine maker's instructions and recorded on the certificate.

Blood testBali (Indonesia) and Kuwait
Rabies blood test 3 to 12 months before arrival
Your pet needs a rabies antibody test with a result of at least 0.5 IU/ml, done by an official laboratory. The blood sample must be taken no less than 3 months and no more than 12 months before your pet enters Kuwait, so start early: the earliest arrival is 3 months after the sample.
The official wording is ambiguous. Confirm this point with the authority.
Details and the official words
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.
“Note: Serological testing is required; the animal should have been subjected not less than 3 months and not more than 12 months prior to its introduction into the importing country, to an antibody titration, as prescribed in the WOAH Terrestrial Manual with a positive result of at least 0.5 IU.”
“Rabies titer tests are required no less than 3 months and no more than 12 months prior to entering Kuwait.”

“Jika termasuk Hewan Pembawa Rabies (HPR) seperti kucing, anjing dan lainnya maka harus dilengkapi dengan buku vaksin dan hasil uji titer protektif antibody rabies.”
In the days before you travel
PermitEntering Kuwait
PAAF import permit (valid for one month)
You need an import permit issued by Kuwait's Public Authority for Agriculture Affairs and Fish Resources (PAAF) before your pet leaves. It is valid for one month from the date it is issued, so your pet must arrive within that month. Contact PAAF on +965 1885020 or info@paaf.gov.kw to apply. The Kuwaiti embassy in Washington listed a written request with your pet's details and your sponsor's details; the processing time and fee aren't published.
Details and the official words
The one-month validity comes from the Kuwaiti embassy in Japan's answer about bringing a pet to Kuwait; the UK's guidance confirms that the permit must be obtained from PAAF's Animal Health Department before export. Neither says who applies (relocation guides say a person in Kuwait does): ask PAAF.
The Washington embassy's page (read 14 October 2026) lists the same three things as its 2024 version: the permit from PAAF, a valid health certificate from a certified vet, and a written request with the pet's and the sponsor's information. It gives no form, fee, lead time or address for the request.
“また、クウェートのThe Public Authority of Agriculture Affairs & Fish Resourcesが発行する輸入許可書も必要です。”
“この許可書は発行日より1か月間有効です。”

“The importation of dogs and cats into Kuwait is subject to the issue of an import permit which must be obtained prior to export from The Public Authority for Agriculture Affairs and Fish Resources, Animal Health Dept.”
TreatmentEntering Kuwait
Internal and external parasite treatment within 14 days before export
Your vet treats your pet against internal and external parasites within the 14 days before it leaves, and records it on the certificate.
Details and the official words
“The animals were treated against internal and external parasites within 14 days prior to export.”

PAAF's veterinary health certificate, endorsed by an official vet
A vet examines your pet (free from clinical signs of infectious disease and fit to travel) and completes PAAF's 'Veterinary Health Certificate for exporting Dogs, Cats, and Ferrets to the State of Kuwait', with the rabies, blood-test, vaccination and parasite records; an official government veterinarian of your country endorses it. The certificate doesn't say how long before travel it may be issued: ask PAAF.
Details and the official words
USDA's page for Kuwait (6 October 2026) says both that APHIS endorsement is not required for pet dogs and cats and that the certificate must be endorsed by APHIS. Until that is cleared up, the plan keeps the USDA endorsement step for pets from the US: ask your accredited vet.
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, at the latest before it is loaded onto the plane or ship. 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.

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, and its 2024 regulation says the other documents 'can be' a veterinary certificate, disease test results or a treatment. Ask Barantin which tests your destination needs.

“Hasil pengujian kausa penyakit hewan,”

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
Barantin's regulation 14/2024 (Article 2) asks for the plan to take a live animal out to be sent online 'paling lama 2 (dua) hari sebelum Pemasukan atau Pengeluaran' (2 days before export), and Article 3 lets Barantin start its checks up to 2 days after you report and hand over the animal. We read this as: apply at least 2 days ahead, and hand your pet over in good time. We haven't added a deadline: ask Barantin.
“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.”
Good to know
- These requirements come from PAAF's own model certificate for dogs, cats and ferrets, which we could read only in the version filled in for pets from the US. Your country's veterinary authority may use a different certificate agreed with Kuwait: ask it, and PAAF, which certificate applies before you plan the dates.
- Kuwait prohibits these dog breeds and any mix of them (as listed by the US Department of Agriculture): Pit Bull and American Pit Bull Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, American Bully, American Staffordshire Terrier, American Bulldog, Mastiffs (including Tibetan, Brazilian/Fila Brasileiro, Argentinian/Dogo Argentino, Neapolitan, French/Dogue de Bordeaux, Canary/Presa Canario, Italian/Cane Corso, Japanese/Tosa, Indian/Bully Kutta, Bullmastiff and South African/Boerboel), Rottweiler, Central Asian Shepherd (Alabai), Wolf Dog, Caucasian Shepherd (Ovcharka), Doberman Pinscher and Anatolian Shepherd (Kangal).
- If the conditions on PAAF's certificate aren't met, the pet is kept in Kuwait's quarantine station under Kuwait's veterinary legislation.
- The certificate states that your pet is transported according to IATA rules: use an IATA-compliant travel crate and check your airline's own pet rules.
- 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.
- 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.

Round trip
Coming back to Bali (Indonesia)
Bali doesn't allow pet dogs or cats to be brought in from outside the island. Its rabies regulation forbids bringing in rabies-carrying animals (dogs, cats, monkeys and similar) from outside Bali except for religious ceremonies, state security, science or conservation, and the governor's rules count keeping an animal as your own pet as a commercial purpose, which is forbidden from outside the island. Ask Bali's agriculture office (Dinas Pertanian dan Ketahanan Pangan) if you believe an exception applies to you.

Questions owners ask
Does my dog or cat need a rabies blood test to go from Bali (Indonesia) to Kuwait?
Yes: Your pet needs a rabies antibody test with a result of at least 0.5 IU/ml, done by an official laboratory.
Do I need an import permit to bring my dog or cat into Kuwait?
Yes: You need an import permit issued by Kuwait's Public Authority for Agriculture Affairs and Fish Resources (PAAF) before your pet leaves.
Will my dog or cat be quarantined in Kuwait?
We couldn't find this in our summary of the rules, but that summary is short and still under review. Ask the official authority before you rely on it.
How early should I start preparing my pet for Bali (Indonesia) to Kuwait?
With nothing done yet, start at least about 3 months ahead for a dog. The main steps: microchip number on the certificate, rabies vaccination and other vaccinations and 6 more.
