Limited official guidance. The authority for leaving Luxembourg publishes little for this route. Everything it does say is here, with its wording. The portal gives no deadline or fee for the certificate or for ALVA's authentication: book the appointment early and ask ALVA what your destination needs.

  • 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

    Your vet issues the health certificate; ALVA's official vets can authenticate it by appointment

    If the destination asks for a veterinary certificate on the animal's health (an 'animal health certificate'), your own vet can issue it. ALVA's official vets (animal health and welfare department) can then authenticate the certificate and the details in the EU pet passport, after an inspection, with a stamp and their signature: you must book an appointment.

    Details and the official words

    The portal gives no deadline for how recent the certificate must be: the destination's own requirements decide.

    “Wird eine tierärztliche Bescheinigung über den Gesundheitszustand (animal health certificate) des Tieres verlangt, so kann diese vom behandelnden Tierarzt ausgestellt werden.”

    “Die offiziellen Tierärzte der ALVA, Abteilung für Tiergesundheit und Tierwohl, können, nach Terminvereinbarung, dieses Gesundheitszertifikat und die Angaben im Heimtierausweis nach einer Kontrolle mit einem Stempel und ihrer Unterschrift beglaubigen.”

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.
  • Each country sets its own entry rules for pets, so find out from the destination's authorities, in good time, which documents your pet needs.
  • If the destination asks for a rabies antibody titer test, contact your own vet, who arranges the blood sample.
  • To come back from other non-EU countries the pet has to have the rabies antibody titer test before it leaves the EU, and your vet must enter the result in the EU pet passport before it leaves.
  • 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.
