“We make the impossible possible – reuniting your furry family members with you in paradise”.
The Challenge Most Pet Owners Face
Many expats dreaming of moving to Bali worry about the heartbreaking possibility of leaving their pets behind. One of the first questions people search is: “Can I bring my pet to Bali?” or “Are pets allowed to enter Bali?” If you’re planning a relocation, understanding the current rules for pet relocation to Bali and Indonesia’s pet import regulations is essential to ensure a safe and stress-free move for your furry family members.You may have heard that bringing dogs and cats to Bali is prohibited due to rabies concerns. While this is technically true according to official regulations, we have a proven solution that works – helping hundreds of families stay together with their pets.

How It Works: Your Pet’s Journey to Bali
Step 1: Initial Consultation (10-12 weeks before arrival)
- Free personalized assessment of your situation
- Clear timeline and requirements explained
- Custom quote based on your pet’s needs
Step 2: Documentation & Preparation
First, we’ll need to collect:
- Annual and rabies certificates
- Rabies serology test results
- Fit-to-fly veterinary letter
- Copy of your passport
Once we have your complete documentation, our team will apply for the crucial Indonesian import permit.
Important timing note: The permit process takes approximately 6 weeks to complete. Once issued, you’ll have 90 days to enter Indonesia with your pet. This is why starting 10-12 weeks before your planned move is essential.
Step 3: Transportation to Jakarta
Important: Your pet cannot fly directly to Bali. All pets must first arrive in Jakarta for mandatory quarantine processing.
You have two transportation options:
- Travel together as excess baggage: Your pet travels on your same flight, registered under your passenger ticket. You’ll collect them from the oversized luggage area upon arrival.
- Consigned cargo shipment: Your pet travels separately as cargo freight. They’ll be collected from the cargo terminal area upon arrival.
Our team will advise which option is best for your specific situation and handle all logistics either way.
Step 4: The Final Journey
- Expect a 2-3 day government quarantine in Jakarta with regular updates
- Negative PCR test confirmation required to move on to Island B
- Comfortable air-conditioned van transport to Island B
- Safe delivery to your home

FAQ: Common Questions About Pet Relocation to Bali
Q: Is this service legal? A: Our service works within a specialized framework that our partners have developed over 10+ years of operating in Indonesia. While direct pet imports to Bali are officially restricted, our method has successfully relocated hundreds of pets through proper channels.
Q: How much does it really cost? A: The Jakarta-to-Bali portion starts from 36 million IDR (approximately $2,400 USD) per pet. International transport costs vary widely depending on origin country, pet size, and airline. We provide transparent, all-inclusive quotes with no surprise fees.
Q: How stressful is this for my pet? A: Pet comfort is our priority. Animals travel in appropriate carriers, receive regular monitoring, and we minimize transit times whenever possible. Most pets adjust quickly and are back to their normal selves shortly after arrival.
Q: What if I later need to leave Bali with my pet? A: If you’re bringing a pet to Bali, it’s crucial to also consider the rules for returning home. Each country has different re-entry requirements that can be complex and costly if not planned in advance.
In most cases, pets must have a rabies blood test that shows clear results for at least 90 days in Bali before they can be accepted into another country.
For example, pets returning to Australia must first stay for six months in an approved rabies-free country before they are allowed to enter Melbourne for quarantine. Once a pet leaves Australia, it loses its rabies-free status, and strict re-entry requirements apply.

This quarantine period can be done in a kennel or pet-friendly rental, but the process is lengthy and expensive.
Our service includes guidance on these exit and return requirements to help make your pet’s journey as smooth as possible.
Q: Do you handle exotic pets or just cats and dogs?
A: No, we specialise in cats and dogs only.
Q. I already live in Bali and just need help bringing my pet here to join me. Can you assist with that?
A: Yes, if you are already living in Bali and wish to bring your pet to the island then write to us via our contact us form.
