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. Notice

    Tell the official vet of your regional office at least 3 working days before you travel

    If a certificate sample already exists and matches the destination's conditions, you must announce the shipment to the competent official vet of your regional office (OU) at least three working days before the planned trip, using the form 'Najava odpreme pošiljke za izvoz'.

    Details and the official words

    “Če vzorec spričevala že obstaja in je skladen s pogoji tretje države, mora lastnik odpremo živali najaviti najmanj tri delovne dni pred predvidenim potovanjem pristojnemu uradnemu veterinarju OU.”

  2. Official stamp

    Veterinary certificate confirmed and issued by an official vet

    The veterinary certificate is confirmed and issued by the official vet of the competent authority in the country the animal travels from. Some non-EU countries accept the EU pet passport; others require a certificate issued by an official vet.

    Details and the official words

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

    “Potrdi in izda ga uradni veterinar pristojnega organa”

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 entering or travelling with pets in non-EU countries are set by the national laws of the countries your pet travels to or through. Ask well before the trip: some procedures for obtaining the conditions can take several months. Before every trip the owner must find out the destination's veterinary conditions and, if the country requires it, obtain an import permit and a sample of the veterinary certificate.
  • The destination decides the form and content of the veterinary certificate. For some countries an export certificate is already prepared and published: check the website or your regional office (OU) of the administration to see whether a sample exists and matches the destination's conditions. If none exists, or it must be changed, you prepare the certificate sample yourself (in Word, with Slovenian first in the certificate) once you have the destination's conditions. Agreeing the certificate can take several weeks, so start in good time.
  • If you will come back to Slovenia with your pet, find out the conditions for re-entry before the pet leaves the EU.
  • 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.
