Carriers
Airlines on this route

How Indonesia handles incoming pets
Indonesia takes biosecurity seriously, and the requirements reflect that. The paperwork is exacting, so accuracy matters as much as timing.
What experienced owners do
Keep every original document together and take copies. Border officials want originals, and a missing signature or date can hold up clearance.
Work backwards from your travel date and add a buffer. Fixed waiting periods mean a single slipped appointment can push the whole move back by weeks.
Check the airline’s crate size and labelling rules early. An undersized or wrongly labelled crate is a frequent reason pets are refused at check-in.
Ask about temperature embargoes for your travel window. Summer and winter cargo restrictions can rule out certain routes and dates entirely.
FAQ
Common questions
BARANTAN quarantine facilities have specific visitor protocols. Some facilities allow owner visits during the quarantine period; others do not. Confirm with the specific facility at CGK before your pet arrives. An Indonesian pet transport agent who works with the facility regularly can advise on current visiting arrangements.
Both dogs and cats are subject to the 30-day quarantine requirement when entering Indonesia. The FAVN titre test requirement also applies to both. The import permit process through iQFast covers both species.
No. Indonesia’s 30-day quarantine applies to all countries, including EU member states like Greece. The quarantine duration is determined by Indonesia’s animal health policy, not the origin country’s status. There is no waiver or reduction based on origin.
If the titre test result is below 0.5 IU/ml, the vaccination programme needs to be reviewed and the test repeated after a booster. The waiting period does not start until a valid result of 0.5 IU/ml or above is confirmed. This can add several months to the timeline. Discuss with your vet how to ensure the vaccination produces adequate immunity before the blood draw.
