- 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.
Official stamp
Official vet of your regional veterinary administration (KVS) confirms or issues the certificate
If the destination requires an official confirmation or a veterinary certificate, the official vet of your regional veterinary administration (KVS) confirms the documents you bring, by arrangement and if the conditions in the document are met. Go during office hours or after agreeing a time, with the documents showing that the conditions in the destination's certificate are met.
Details and the official words
The KVS vet may ask for a certified Czech translation of the veterinary certificate.
The page gives no deadline for how recent the certificate must be: the destination's own rule decides.
“chovatelem předložené dokumenty po domluvě a za předpokladu splnění podmínek v dokumentu stanovených potvrdí úřední veterinární lékař místně příslušné Krajské veterinární správy SVS”
“Je v kompetenci úředního veterinárního lékaře příslušné KVS požadovat ověřený překlad veterinárního osvědčení do českého jazyka.”

Verification by the Central Veterinary Administration (superlegalisation), if the destination asks
A few countries (SVS names Brazil and Panama) ask the central competent authority to verify the issued certificate, passport or other identification document. The Central Veterinary Administration does this: contact its external relations and import-export control department.
Details and the official words
“provede jej Ústřední veterinární správa.”
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.
- To travel outside the EU, the import conditions set by the destination country's veterinary authority must be met. The person travelling with the animal should find the current conditions from that authority or from the country's embassy.
- SVS charges an administrative fee under the Czech fees act: 200 CZK for an export veterinary certificate for one animal, 500 CZK for more than one animal, and 100 CZK for the official verification of a passport or other identification document of the animal.
- If the destination requires a veterinary certificate but has no import conditions of its own, SVS offers a general veterinary certificate for dogs and cats. You can use it only if the destination's veterinary authority agrees.
- Planning to bring your pet back to the EU? After a short stay in a non-EU country you can skip the 3-month wait after the rabies blood test, but only if, before you leave the EU, your pet was vaccinated against rabies, passed a successful titer test, and your vet recorded both in its EU pet passport. So do the blood test before you go.
