Limited official guidance. The authority for leaving Lithuania publishes little for this route. Everything it does say is here, with its wording. VMVT's page says only that the destination sets the rules, that an import permit and a veterinary certificate from an official vet may be needed, and that some procedures take months. It gives no deadline, fee or endorsement procedure for leaving Lithuania: ask VMVT (phone 1879, or +370 5 242 0108 from abroad).

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.

Headlines for Bali (Indonesia)

  • 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

    An official vet of the country the pet leaves from approves and issues the veterinary certificate

    When the destination asks for a veterinary certificate, VMVT says it is approved and issued by an official vet in the country the animal leaves from. Its form and content, and any annexes, are set by the destination country: for some countries the certificates are already published (VMVT's page links them).

    Details and the official words

    VMVT's page gives no deadline for how recent the certificate must be, no fee and no booking procedure: the destination's own requirements decide, and VMVT is the place to ask.

    “Sertifikatą patvirtina ir išduoda oficialus veterinarijos gydytojas toje šalyje, iš kurios gyvūnas išvyksta.”

    “Keliaujant iš ES į trečiąsias šalis ar teritorijas, veterinarinio sertifikato forma ir turinys bei bet kokie priedai nustatomi trečiosios šalies.”

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.
  • The conditions for bringing a pet into a country outside the EU are set by that country's own national law. VMVT recommends finding out well before the trip what your pet must meet to enter that country, because some procedures can take several months.
  • Check the destination's veterinary rules in advance. If the country requires it, you must get an import permit and a veterinary certificate.
  • Not every country outside the EU accepts the EU pet passport. Some let dogs, cats and ferrets travel with it; others require a veterinary certificate issued by an official vet of the competent authority.
  • 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.
