Limited official guidance. The authority for leaving Norway publishes little for this route. Everything it does say is here, with its wording. Mattilsynet publishes no procedure of its own for a private owner taking a pet out of Norway. Its page only points you to the destination's guides and veterinary authorities. Ask the destination what it needs, your vet about the passport and vaccinations, and Mattilsynet about any official endorsement the destination asks for.
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.
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 find the rules for taking a pet to another country, use the destination's guides or contact its veterinary authorities. For other countries Mattilsynet recommends contacting the country's embassy, which can point you on to the veterinary authorities.
- Planning to bring your pet back? A pet returning to Norway can use its EEA pet passport instead of a health certificate only if it had its rabies vaccination, and the titer test where one is needed, before it left the EEA. Do them before you go.
