- 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
Veterinary certificate applied for through PTA's customer portal
Most non-EU countries require a veterinary certificate on entry. Apply for it through PTA's customer portal, at the county veterinary local office: log in, choose 'Väljaveosertifikaadid' and complete the 'Lemmikloomade mittekaubandusliku väljaveo sertifikaadi taotlus' (application for a non-commercial export certificate for pets). If you cannot apply through the portal, fill in a paper application and send it to the e-mail address of the regional office.
Details and the official words
PTA's page gives no deadline for how recent the certificate must be, or how early to apply: the destination's own requirements decide.
“Most of the non-EU countries require a veterinary certificate upon entry, which can be applied for via Customer Portal in the county veterinary local office”
“If you cannot apply for a certificate via Customer Portal please fill in an application on paper and submit it to the country representation e-mail address.”
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.
- When you take a pet into a non-EU country, the requirements of that country must be followed.
- When you return to Estonia from a non-EU country, always check whether additional requirements apply to your pet. PTA's page has a chapter on travelling to Estonia from non-EU countries.
- 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.
