Pet travel route
Dog or cat from Bali (Indonesia) to Taiwan: the rules
Possible. With nothing done yet, start at least about 3 months ahead for a dog. The main steps: microchip, rabies vaccination (over 90 days old) and rabies vaccination 30 days to 1 year before arrival and 5 more.
Rules checked up to 13 October 2026From 17 official pages
In short
- Dogs and cats differ on this route: choose Dog or Cat to see just yours.
- Taiwan puts Bali (Indonesia) in the group “Country not on Taiwan’s rabies-free list”, which decides part of the rules.
- On this route: rabies blood test needed, import permit needed, quarantine on arrival and tell the authority in advance.
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.

IdentificationEntering Taiwan
Microchip
Your pet must be microchipped. The microchip number must be on the vaccination certificate and the export certificate, and match the chip in your pet.
Details and the official words
If this is missed: A pet without a microchip, or whose chip number is missing from the export certificate or doesn't match, is sent back, destroyed or put in post-entry quarantine (chipped, vaccinated, blood-tested and held 97 days after a passing blood sample).
“Implanted with a microchip; and”
“Implanted with a microchip.”
“will be returned to sender, euthanized and destroyed, or sent to a post-entry quarantine facility if it falls in any of the following circumstances”
VaccinationBali (Indonesia) and Taiwan
Rabies vaccination (over 90 days old)
Your pet must be vaccinated against rabies with an inactivated vaccine (or one licensed in Taiwan) when it is over 90 days old.
Details and the official words
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.
“Vaccinated with one of the following vaccine against rabies within 30 days to one year prior to importation, and the dog/cat shall be over 90 days of age at vaccination.”
“The inactivated vaccine.”
“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 Taiwan
Rabies vaccination 30 days to 1 year before arrival
Taiwan needs a rabies vaccination given between 1 year and 30 days before your pet arrives. If your pet's last shot will be more than a year old on arrival, give a booster at least 30 days before arrival. The vet's vaccination certificate (Chinese or English) must show the species, sex, age, microchip number, vaccination date and the vaccine's name and maker (or say it is inactivated).
Details and the official words
Add the date of your pet's most recent rabies shot to check this.
If this is missed: If the export certificate doesn't show a vaccination that meets these rules, the pet is vaccinated and held in post-entry quarantine for 30 days after the vaccination.
“Vaccinated with one of the following vaccines against rabies within 30 days to one year prior to importation”
“the animal’s species, sex, age, microchip number, vaccination date, name of the vaccine and manufacturer (or state “the vaccine is inactivated”)”
“the dog/cat shall complete vaccination with vaccine against rabies pursuant to Article 4.2, and be detained in quarantine for 30 days after the vaccination.”
Blood testBali (Indonesia) and Taiwan
Rabies blood test (at least 0.5 IU/ml)
Because your pet comes from (or has stayed in) a place that isn't on Taiwan's rabies-free list, it needs a passing rabies antibody test (at least 0.5 IU/ml at a WOAH reference laboratory or a laboratory designated by Taiwan) on a blood sample taken 90 days to 1 year before arrival. A later sample taken 90 days to 1 year after an earlier passing one also counts if it is within the year before arrival.
The official wording is ambiguous. Confirm this point with the authority.
Details and the official words
The rule doesn't say how long after the vaccination the sample must be taken for a pet tested abroad. When APHIA tests a pet in quarantine, it samples more than 30 days after the vaccination.
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.
If this is missed: A pet whose passing sample doesn't fit these dates, or that has no passing result, can still be imported but stays in post-entry quarantine until 97 days after the blood sample (or is sampled in quarantine and held 97 days after a passing sample).
“Passing the rabies test with the blood sampled during any of the following periods:”
“Within 90 days to one year prior to importation;”
“Within 90 days to one year subsequent to the previous blood sampling that passed the rabies test, and within one year prior to importation”
“A dog/cat whose rabies neutralizing antibody titer level is at least 0.5 IU/ml”
“be detained in post-entry quarantine facility for 97 days after the date of blood sampling”
“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.”
PermitEntering Taiwan
Import quarantine permit
Apply online (pet-epermit.aphia.gov.tw), or to APHIA's office at your port of entry, for an import quarantine permit, and reserve a place at the post-entry quarantine facility, at least 20 days before your pet arrives (if your pet is leaving Taiwan to come back, before it leaves). Check the quarantine places available on the online system before applying. Send copies of your ID document (passport for foreigners), the rabies vaccination certificate and the passing blood test report. You can change the entry date or port once, at least 10 days before the new date.
Details and the official words
“prior to import, importers or their agents shall apply for the issuance of import quarantine permits from the import/export animal quarantine authority”
“shall submit an application for the import quarantine permit to the import/export animal quarantine authority stationed at the port of entry at least 20 days prior to entering or before exiting the importing country for subsequent re-entry”

Export veterinary certificate from the exporting country's quarantine authority
Your pet must travel with an original veterinary certificate (English or Chinese) issued by the animal quarantine authority of the country it leaves, showing its species, number, sex, age and microchip number, the exporting country and the exporter's name, that it shows no clinical signs of rabies, its rabies vaccination date and vaccine, and that it passed the rabies blood test (sample date and laboratory), unless you attach the original test report.
Details and the official words
From a rabies-free place, the certificate must also say your pet has been kept there for the 180 days before export, or since birth.
Taiwan's rule sets no validity period for this certificate. Ask APHIA how recent it must be.
APHIA publishes specimen certificates the exporting country can use: Form 001 (rabies-free places) and Form 002 (other places).
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.
If this is missed: Without the original certificate, or if it lacks the required statements, the pet is sent back, destroyed or held in post-entry quarantine.

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.

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.

Travel day and arrival
On arrivalEntering Taiwan
Quarantine inspection on arrival
When your pet arrives, give APHIA's office at the port a copy of the import permit, the original export certificate and a copy of the air waybill, bill of lading or customs declaration. APHIA issues the import certificate once the documents are in order and your pet shows no signs of notifiable diseases.
Details and the official words
“Photocopy of the import quarantine permit;”
“The original export veterinary certificate, and”
“Photocopy of the bill of lading, airway bill or customs declaration.”
QuarantineEntering Taiwan
7 days' post-entry quarantine
From a place that isn't rabies-free, your pet is taken from the port to the post-entry quarantine facility and stays there for 7 days, at your cost, before the import certificate is issued (see the warning about waiving it). Pets arriving at Taoyuan, Songshan, Taichung or Taipei Port go to APHIA's Guanyin quarantine station; pets arriving at Kaohsiung go to the veterinary teaching hospital of National Pingtung University of Science and Technology.
Details and the official words
“shows no suspicious clinical signs of notifiable animal infectious diseases after being detained for 7 days in a post-entry quarantine facility”
“A dog/cat subject to post-entry quarantine shall be upon arrival at the port of entry escorted to the designated post-entry quarantine facility by the import/export animal quarantine authority.”
“Guanyin Inspection Station (For entry via Taiwan Taoyuan Airport (TPE), Taipei Songshan Airport (TSA), Taipei Port (TWTPE), or Taichung (RMQ) Airport only)”
“National Pingtung University of Science and Technology Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital (For entry via Kaohsiung Airport (KHH) only)”
“自狂犬病疫區輸入犬貓應於輸入後隔離檢疫7日”
Good to know
- The 7-day quarantine can be waived (ask for it when you apply for the permit) if the passing blood sample was taken 180 days to 1 year before arrival (or within 180 days, when it was taken 180 days to 1 year after an earlier passing sample), and either you apply at least 120 days before entering, or, applying at least 20 days before, the result can be looked up on the laboratory's website, or the laboratory emails a copy of the report, or the exporting country's quarantine authority emails a copy of the test declaration, to APHIA (rabiesreport@aphia.gov.tw).
- You pay all costs of detention, transport, check-ups and quarantine (feeding, care, tests, microchip, vaccination), and of sending the pet back or destroying it if it doesn't meet the rules.
- Quarantine costs (2026): at APHIA's facilities the holding fee for a dog or cat is NT$860 a day plus a NT$605 testing fee, with extra charges if a rabies vaccination (NT$140), microchip (NT$300) or parasite treatment is needed; other quarantine premises charge their own fees. APHIA's transport from the airport to the Guanyin quarantine station costs NT$1,480 per animal from Taoyuan (NT$1,980 on holidays) and NT$2,500 from Songshan (NT$3,500); from Taipei Port, Taichung or Kaohsiung you arrange the transport yourself.
- Pets enter through Taipei Songshan (TSA), Taoyuan (TPE), Taichung (RMQ) or Kaohsiung (KHH) airports, or Taipei Port; you choose the port on the permit application. Avoid arriving on weekends or public holidays: APHIA can't escort or receive pets then. The Guanyin quarantine station receives animals on working days from 9:00 to 11:30 and 13:30 to 16:00.
- Taiwan has banned importing Pit Bull Terriers (American Pit Bull Terriers and American Staffordshire Terriers) since 1 March 2022. A dog of these breeds already kept on or before 28 February 2022 can be imported only after the animal protection authority has confirmed it.
- 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.

“A dog/cat subject to post-entry quarantine shall be upon arrival at the port of entry escorted to the designated post-entry quarantine facility by the import/export animal quarantine authority.”
“Guanyin Inspection Station (For entry via Taiwan Taoyuan Airport (TPE), Taipei Songshan Airport (TSA), Taipei Port (TWTPE), or Taichung (RMQ) Airport only)”
“National Pingtung University of Science and Technology Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital (For entry via Kaohsiung Airport (KHH) only)”

Good to know
- The 7-day quarantine can be waived (ask for it when you apply for the permit) if the passing blood sample was taken 180 days to 1 year before arrival (or within 180 days, when it was taken 180 days to 1 year after an earlier passing sample), and either you apply at least 120 days before entering, or, applying at least 20 days before, the result can be looked up on the laboratory's website, or the laboratory emails a copy of the report, or the exporting country's quarantine authority emails a copy of the test declaration, to APHIA (rabiesreport@aphia.gov.tw).
- You pay all costs of detention, transport, check-ups and quarantine (feeding, care, tests, microchip, vaccination), and of sending the pet back or destroying it if it doesn't meet the rules.
- Quarantine costs (2026): at APHIA's facilities the holding fee for a dog or cat is NT$860 a day plus a NT$605 testing fee, with extra charges if a rabies vaccination (NT$140), microchip (NT$300) or parasite treatment is needed; other quarantine premises charge their own fees. APHIA's transport from the airport to the Guanyin quarantine station costs NT$1,480 per animal from Taoyuan (NT$1,980 on holidays) and NT$2,500 from Songshan (NT$3,500); from Taipei Port, Taichung or Kaohsiung you arrange the transport yourself.
- Pets enter through Taipei Songshan (TSA), Taoyuan (TPE), Taichung (RMQ) or Kaohsiung (KHH) airports, or Taipei Port; you choose the port on the permit application. Avoid arriving on weekends or public holidays: APHIA can't escort or receive pets then. The Guanyin quarantine station receives animals on working days from 9:00 to 11:30 and 13:30 to 16:00.
- 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 Taiwan?
Yes: Because your pet comes from (or has stayed in) a place that isn't on Taiwan's rabies-free list, it needs a passing rabies antibody test (at least 0.5 IU/ml at a WOAH reference laboratory or a laboratory designated by Taiwan) on a blood sample taken 90 days to 1 year before arrival.
Do I need an import permit to bring my dog or cat into Taiwan?
Yes: Apply online (pet-epermit.aphia.gov.tw), or to APHIA's office at your port of entry, for an import quarantine permit, and reserve a place at the post-entry quarantine facility, at least 20 days before your pet arrives (if your pet is leaving Taiwan to come back, before it leaves).
Will my dog or cat be quarantined in Taiwan?
It can be: From a place that isn't rabies-free, your pet is taken from the port to the post-entry quarantine facility and stays there for 7 days, at your cost, before the import certificate is issued (see the warning about waiving it).
How early should I start preparing my pet for Bali (Indonesia) to Taiwan?
With nothing done yet, start at least about 3 months ahead for a dog. The main steps: microchip, rabies vaccination (over 90 days old) and rabies vaccination 30 days to 1 year before arrival and 5 more.
