  • 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. Paperwork

    Export health certificate (EHC) + export application (EXA)

    For a non-EU destination you need the destination's export health certificate (EHC) and an export application form (EXA). Nominate an official vet, who receives the EHC and checks your pet before travel.

    Details and the official words

    “If you’re travelling to a non-EU country, you’ll need to get an export health certificate (EHC).”

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.
