How Indonesien handles your pet
Key points
- Indonesia issues the import permit through the Ministry of Agriculture's Directorate General of Livestock and Animal Health, and the Ministry's letter is valid for one month only: "Kementerian Pertanian Indonesia akan mengeluarkan surat keterangan yang berlaku maksimal 1 (satu) bulan untuk mendapatkan izin masuk ke Indonesia bagi hewan peliharaan (izin impor)" (kemlu.go.id)
- Two limits have no structured home and both can stop a trip
- First, pets must be at least 90 days old at shipment: "The pets shall have been 90 days year old at the time of export/shipment", and may not travel pregnant or lactating: "The pets shall not be in pregnant or lactation condition" (Embassy of Indonesia, Animal Quarantine)
- Second, the embassy page says rabies-carrying pets may not enter Indonesia's rabies-free regions: "tidak diperkenankan masuk ke wilayah bebas rabies, seperti jawa tengah, jawa timur, yogyakarta, bali, madura, nusa tenggara barat (NTB) dan nusa tenggara timur (NTT)" (kemlu.go.id)
- Confirm your destination province with Barantin before you book, because that list may not be applied as a blanket ban: Barantin's own January 2026 notice describes a pet cat inspected by quarantine before flying on to Surabaya, in East Java: "Sebelum menemani pemiliknya melakukan perjalanan ke Surabaya, kucing peliharaan ini melapor kepada petugas karantina untuk menjalani rangkaian pemeriksaan di Tempat Pelayanan Karantina Papua Barat Daya, Bandara Domine Eduard Osok (DEO) Sorong." (karantinaindonesia.go.id)
- Requirements also branch on the origin country's rabies status; a pet from a rabies-infected country must first undergo three months of quarantine measures in the country of origin: "HPR telah dilakukan tindakan karantina berupa pemeriksaan, pengasingan dan pengamatan serta perlakuan di negara asal selama 3 (tiga) bulan" (kemlu.go.id)
