Pet Relocation Routes from Indonesia

Country-specific requirements for moving a dog or cat from Indonesia.

Route requirements differ by country. Start with the eligibility status, then open the detailed guide before arranging tests, permits or flights.

🇦🇺 Australia

Not a direct export route. Indonesia is not an approved export country for Australia. A dog or cat may be eligible only after meeting Australia’s approved-country pathway, including 180 continuous days in an approved country immediately before export. Read the Indonesia to Australia route guide.

🇳🇿 New Zealand

Direct import from Indonesia is not available. Indonesia is not on New Zealand MPI’s approved cats-and-dogs country lists. A normal direct import from Indonesia cannot proceed under the current 2026 Import Health Standard. Read the Indonesia to New Zealand route guide.

🇸🇬 Singapore

Eligible with prior approval and quarantine booking. Indonesia is a Schedule III source under AVS. The route requires a rabies vaccine and qualifying serology, advance licences and a 30-day quarantine reservation. Read the Indonesia to Singapore route guide.

🇲🇻 Maldives

Import permit and written conditions required. The Maldives Ministry of Agriculture publishes a live-animal import application. Obtain the permit and the destination-specific veterinary conditions before booking; the public form alone does not confirm a rabies or quarantine protocol. Read the Indonesia to Maldives route guide.

🇦🇪 United Arab Emirates

Import permit required; titre depends on risk category. MOCCAE requires a prior pet import permit, permanent microchip, vaccination record and endorsed veterinary health certificate. A rabies antibody test applies when the export country is classified high risk. Read the Indonesia to United Arab Emirates route guide.

🇹🇭 Thailand

Import permit and route-specific conditions required. Thailand’s Department of Livestock Development issues an import permit with health requirements for the route. Submit the application at least seven days before import and notify the arrival station at least three days before arrival. Read the Indonesia to Thailand route guide.

🇯🇵 Japan

Possible after a long rabies-preparation period. Indonesia is a non-designated region. Plan for two rabies vaccinations, an approved titre result of at least 0.5 IU/ml, a 180-day wait from blood sampling and advance AQS notice at least 40 days before arrival. Read the Indonesia to Japan route guide.

🇰🇷 South Korea

Possible with microchip, titre and government certificate. South Korea requires an official export-country quarantine certificate listing the microchip and rabies-neutralising antibody result. For Indonesia-origin pets over 90 days, plan for a qualifying titre result. Read the Indonesia to South Korea route guide.

🇬🇧 United Kingdom

Possible after titre testing and the required wait. For Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales), Indonesia is not on the listed-country exemption. Plan for a titre test and three-month wait from sampling, plus an approved route and official health certificate. Read the Indonesia to United Kingdom route guide.

🇺🇸 United States

Dogs face CDC high-risk rules; cats follow separate rules. Indonesia is a CDC high-risk country for dog rabies. Foreign-vaccinated dogs with recent presence in Indonesia need extra CDC documents, a titre result and a registered animal-care-facility reservation; cat rules are different. Read the Indonesia to United States route guide.

🇨🇦 Canada

Personal pets need age- and purpose-specific documents. For personal dogs and cats from Indonesia, CFIA rules depend on species, age, owner accompaniment and purpose. Indonesia is not on Canada’s rabies-free list; commercial dog imports follow a stricter route. Read the Indonesia to Canada route guide.

🇵🇭 Philippines

Approved SPSIC required before travel. Every dog and cat needs an approved BAI Sanitary and Phytosanitary Import Clearance (SPSIC). BAI says processing takes 11 working days; personal pets must meet age, vaccine and animal-count limits. Read the Indonesia to Philippines route guide.

🇻🇺 Vanuatu

Prior Biosecurity permit and current conditions required. Vanuatu requires an import permit for live animals. Its published regulations set health attestations for dogs and cats; Biosecurity can amend permit conditions when disease status changes. Read the Indonesia to Vanuatu route guide.

🇲🇾 Malaysia

Temporarily prohibited by Malaysia DVS notice. Malaysia’s Department of Veterinary Services issued a notice prohibiting dog and cat imports from Indonesia following a rabies outbreak. Do not book or dispatch a pet unless DVS publishes a new written clearance. Read the Indonesia to Malaysia route guide.
