Limited official guidance. The authority for entering Bali (Indonesia) publishes little for this route. Everything it does say is here, with its wording. This covers Bali only, from the province's own rabies rules. For the rest of Indonesia, see our Indonesia page.

  • Pets not allowed in

What your dog or cat needs

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.

  1. Official stamp

    Book your CFIA endorsement appointment

    An appointment with an official CFIA veterinarian is required to get your pet's export certificate endorsed. Book as early as you can: the endorsement has to happen before your pet leaves Canada.

    Details and the official words

    “An appointment is required to get your pet export certificate endorsed by an official CFIA veterinarian.”

    “Provide as much advance notice as possible when booking an appointment.”

Good to know

  • For Indonesia as a whole, the quarantine agency's rules on passenger baggage allow only guide, assistance or emotional support animals (at most 2) to travel as a passenger's baggage. Other pets follow the quarantine agency's procedure for pets from abroad (see our Indonesia page), but none of them may go on to Bali.
  • CFIA warns that countries can change their import requirements without telling it. Get the current requirements from the destination country's veterinary authority or embassy and compare them with the export certificate before you start.
  • If the destination has no export certificate of its own and its import requirements can be met, the Canadian International Health Certificate can be used. Otherwise CFIA has to negotiate a certificate, which can take several months — contact your CFIA animal health office before you start.
