In short

Limited official guidance. The authority for leaving Serbia publishes little for this route. Everything it does say is here, with its wording. Serbia's Veterinary Directorate publishes its request form for an export certificate for live animals, with notes for pets, and answers on travelling to the EU. It doesn't say how long before departure to apply. Send the request early: the form gives the inspection up to 30 days to decide.

Limited official guidance. The authority for entering Indonesia publishes little for this route. Everything it does say is here, with its wording. This is the Indonesian Quarantine Agency's (Barantin) own short guide for pet dogs and cats coming from abroad, published in March 2026. It lists the documents and the online steps but gives no dates: no deadline for the prior notice, no age, no wait after the vaccination or the blood test, no minimum antibody level and no quarantine period. Confirm the details with the quarantine office (Karantina) at your port of entry before you travel. Bali has its own rules: pet dogs and cats can't be brought there.

At a glance

The rules on this route are the same for dogs and cats.

How early to start

No official wait

whether or not your pet is already microchipped and vaccinated

No official wait still means appointments: rabies vaccination record, rabies antibody test result (protective level) and health confirmation from your vet, no more than 48 hours old and 2 more. Book them early; lab and paperwork times are not counted.

On this route

  • Rabies blood test needed
  • Tell the authority in advance

Part of this route is still under review, so we don’t say what it doesn’t need.

Serbia → Indonesia

What your pet needs

In the order you do them. Each step says whether Serbia (leaving) or Indonesia (entering) asks for it.

Bringing a dog or cat into Indonesia: we summarised this from a short or older official page and it is still under review, so it may be incomplete.

  1. Get ready

    1. VaccinationEntering Indonesia

      Rabies vaccination record

      Bring your pet's vaccination book showing its rabies vaccination. Barantin doesn't say how long before travel it must be given.

      The official wording is ambiguous. Confirm this point with the authority.

      Details and the official words

      The guide asks only for the vaccination book; it gives no minimum age or waiting time.

      “Dilengkapi buku vaksin dan hasil uji titer protektif antibodi rabies”

    2. Blood testSerbia and Indonesia

      Rabies antibody test result (protective level)

      Bring the result of a rabies antibody (titer) test showing a protective level. Barantin doesn't give the level, the laboratory or how long before travel the blood must be taken; 0.5 IU/ml is the usual international standard, but confirm with the quarantine office.

      The official wording is ambiguous. Confirm this point with the authority.

      Details and the official words

      Antibody test at the Pasteur Institute, Novi Sad: If your destination asks for a rabies antibody test, Serbia's export form asks for the FAVN test report from the Pasteur Institute in Novi Sad.

      “Dilengkapi buku vaksin dan hasil uji titer protektif antibodi rabies”

      “Извештај о испитивању на антитела на беснило ФАВН тестом”

      “За псе и мачке када то земља увозница захтев”

      “Пастеров институт, Нови Сад”

  2. In the days before you travel

    1. Vet examLeaving Serbia

      Health confirmation from your vet, no more than 48 hours old

      A veterinary station or practice confirms your pet's health (уверење о здравственом стању). For a pet, this confirmation must be no more than 48 hours old when the veterinary inspection issues the export certificate.

      Details and the official words

      “Уверење о здравственом стању животиња”

      “Документ стар не више од 10 дана, а за кућне љубимце потврда не старија од 48 часова”

    2. PaperworkSerbia and Indonesia

      Health certificate from your country's veterinary authority

      Your pet needs a health certificate issued by the competent official in the country it comes from. Barantin doesn't say how recent it must be; ask the quarantine office.

      The official wording is ambiguous. Confirm this point with the authority.

      Details and the official words

      Export certificate from a Serbian veterinary inspector: Send the request for an export certificate for live animals to the Veterinary Directorate's veterinary inspection (also by email to vetinspekcija@minpolj.gov.rs) with the vet's health confirmation, the pet passport, the antibody test report and the import permit if your destination asks for them, and proof that you paid the two administrative taxes (420 + 9,160 = 9,580 dinars, one payment possible). As a pet owner you don't need an approved export establishment or a disinfection certificate for the vehicle. A Serbian veterinary inspector issues the certificate.

      The form gives the inspection up to 30 days from the request to decide, and treats a request as incomplete if missing documents aren't sent within 8 days. It doesn't say how long before departure to apply: ask the veterinary inspection, and allow for the 48-hour limit on the vet's health confirmation.

      “Pengirim/ pemilik memastikan kelengkapan persyaratan karantina dari negara asal yaitu Sertifikat Kesehatan yang diterbitkan oleh Pejabat berwenang di negara asal”

      “За некомерцијално кретање кућних љубимаца неопходан је ветеринарски сертификат који издаје надлежни ветеринарски инспектор Републике Србије.”

      “ЗАХТЕВ ЗА ИЗДАВАЊЕ СЕРТИФИКАТA ЗА ИЗВОЗ ЖИВИХ ЖИВОТИЊА”

      “Не достављају држаоци спортских коња, голубова, паса, мачака, птица кућних љубимаца, зечева и пчела”

      “Није потребно за извоз кућних љубимаца”

      “Само када је то захтев земље у коју се отпремају животиње”

      “vetinspekcija@minpolj.gov.rs”

      “Рок за решавање поднетог захтева 30 дана од покретања поступка”

      “420,00 РСД”

      “Такса се плаћа заједно и за захтев и за издавање сертификата”

    3. NoticeEntering Indonesia

      Register with SSMQC and send Barantin's prior notice before you leave

      Register in Barantin's SSMQC system, then fill in and send the prior notice at notice.karantinaindonesia.go.id. The prior notice must be sent before your pet leaves its country of origin.

      Details and the official words

      “Pengirim/ pemilik melakukan registrasi melalui SSMQC”

      “wajib dilakukan sebelum keberangkatan dari negara asal”

  3. Travel day and arrival

    1. CheckLeaving Serbia

      Pet passport (original)

      Bring your dog's or cat's original pet passport, issued by a veterinary station, with the request. The microchip and a valid rabies vaccination remain required for travel to the EU.

      Details and the official words

      “Пасош за животиње”

      “За говеда, коње, псе и мачке”

      “Животиња мора бити трајно обележена микрочипом који испуњава прописане стандарде.”

    2. On arrivalEntering Indonesia

      Report to quarantine on arrival

      At the airport, port or land border where you arrive, report your pet and hand it over with its documents to the quarantine officers. If it is healthy and free of quarantine diseases, a quarantine vet releases it with a release certificate (Sertifikat Pelepasan Karantina).

      Details and the official words

      “pengirim/ pemilik wajib melaporkan dan menyerahkan hewan berikut kelengkapan persyaratannya kepada petugas karantina untuk keperluan tindakan karantina”

      “akan dilakukan pembebasan oleh Dokter Hewan Karantina dengan menerbitkan Sertifikat Pelepasan Karantina.”

Good to know

  • Your pet can't come from a country that currently has a rabies outbreak. Barantin doesn't publish a list, so ask the quarantine office if rabies is present where your pet lives.
  • Guide, assistance and emotional support animals (at most 2) can travel as the owner's baggage under Barantin's 2024 baggage rules, with a letter from a mental health professional in the home country, at least 6 months of health history, rabies and distemper vaccination, a microchip or ID book, a pet passport and a rabies antibody test. Their owners fill in the All Indonesia arrival form.

Money

What it costs

Government fees exactly as the official pages state them, and what vets and labs in Serbia publish for the steps above. The two are never added together.

Government fees on this route

Government fees in total: 9,580 RSD + 25,000 IDR (each currency separately)

May also apply, depending on your case

What vets and labs charge Not official figures

No published prices yet for Serbia: rabies vaccination, health certificate (vet’s fee), vet examination.

Prices that businesses publish on their own pages, quoted as we read them; yours can differ. Ranges are the lowest to highest of these examples, never our estimate. How we collect prices

Airline fees aren’t included: check your airline’s pet page.

Round trip

Coming back to Serbia

Do before your pet leaves Serbia

  • Microchip, before the rabies vaccination
  • Rabies vaccination at 12 weeks or older, 21 days before entry
  • Unlisted countries: rabies antibody test, 3 months before

Their timing rules put them before the outbound trip, for a three-month stay.
