Official overseas-entry procedures and the US six-month-residence certificate path are available; island eligibility and detailed timing still need confirmation.
Certificates and permits
Dog / Cat · In the cabin / Accompanied hold baggage / Separate cargo service
For entry from abroad carry a health certificate issued by the competent authority in the origin country. Use the accepted origin-specific certificate and complete permit conditions. Indonesia’s domestic inter-island provincial/city veterinary document is a different process and does not replace this import certificate.

Carry the vaccination book and a protective rabies-antibody test result for foreign-origin dogs/cats. The 2026 national guide gives no universal numeric threshold or sampling/waiting period.

At the designated entry point report and present the animal and required documents to quarantine officers.

For the US path obtain the Indonesian import licence from the Directorate General of Livestock and Animal Health Services before shipment and comply with its conditions. A January 2026 PKH notice identifies SIMREK PKH for pet-import licensing. A login, application receipt or status query is not the granted licence; detailed validity and processing windows need confirmation.

Use the current four-page US-to-Indonesia dog/cat certificate, completed and signed by the USDA-accredited veterinarian and officially endorsed by the USDA veterinarian. Match the animals and records. Verify any microchip recorded in box 21; the form’s chip-or-name field alone does not settle all identification requirements of the issued permit.

The US certificate requires at least six months’ US residence before export and no reported rabies in the animal’s residential area over the last six months. This is residence and local disease history, not six months of post-vaccine waiting. A three-month-old animal cannot satisfy six months’ residence merely because the form also lists a three-month minimum age.

US-origin cats must carry a negative laboratory SARS-CoV-2 PCR result from testing before export, according to both current APHIS pet and September 2026 live-export notices. Confirm accepted sampling time and lab with the actual permit. Those notices exclude dogs from this COVID-19 test, not from rabies or other requirements.

Rules depend on the route, animal and operating carrier. Confirm your own journey with the relevant authority and airline.
Applicable conditions
Confirm origin-country eligibility, destination island and authorised entry point with Indonesian authorities and the issued permit; the national guide says the origin must not be experiencing a rabies outbreak. A sanitary checklist or an airline option does not establish admission to Bali or any other island, nor a routine baggage/ESA exemption.

Applicable conditions
The exact vaccine/test timing, certificate validity, accepted laboratories, quarantine arrangements and ordinary-pet transport acceptance remain journey-specific and unresolved here. The reviewed national guide does not supply a fixed seven- or fourteen-day quarantine or automatic exemption. Non-US COVID-19 conditions require their own current authority confirmation.
