Bringing a dog or cat into Bali (Indonesia)
The entry requirements for a family pet travelling with its owner, quoted from the official government pages, and what changes depending on where your pet is coming from.
Make my dated planLimited official guidance. Dinas Pertanian dan Ketahanan Pangan Provinsi Bali 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.

When this route doesn’t work
Not allowed · Your pet is a dog or cat
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.
