In General pets importation into Indonesia is still possible.
Recently we have lots of questions regarding the regulation of bringing or moving family pets into Indonesia.
It will depend on where are you from and where is your end destination within area of Indonesia.
Where is your end destination?
It is important to know, because some places in Indonesia is in category rabies free area/island and some in category Non Rabies Free area. From Non Rabies Free Country pets are not allowed to go to Rabies Free Area.
Which country is your pet/s from?
There are countries on the list of Rabies Free according to OIE, this status list updated from time to time. Normally the country should be no reported of rabies cases within two years to become eligible as rabies free. One country may be changed the status in case found rabies case.
Pets from Non Rabies Free country cannot be imported into Rabies Free Area or Island within Indonesia.
All pets must get an Import Permit from the Ministry of Agriculture Republic of Indonesia prior departure from the origin Country. The import permit will not be issued for pets from Non Rabies Free Country into Rabies Free area/island.
Pets transit at Jakarta Airport for destination at Non Rabies Free area still permitted, pets will remain at the quarantine area at the Airport until next flight connection. In case not connected to the Airplane then pets must stay for 14 days at Quarantine Station prior deliver to Non Rabies Free area.
Rabies Free area (this list is reviewed and evaluated by Government of Indonesia from time to time) : Jakarta area, Central Java (Semarang), East Java (Surabaya), Batam, Bali Island (Denpasar), Lombok (Mataram), Nusa Tenggara Islands, Maluku, Papua, others small islands.
Among others Non Rabies Free area (with Big Cities or Airport) such as whole Sumatra island (Medan, Pekanbaru, Palembang, Padang, Lampung), Kalimantan (Balikpapan, Banjarmasin, Samarinda, Pontianak), Sulawesi (Menado, Makasar/Unjungpandang), West Java (Bandung) and Banten (Tangerang, Serang).
Exception for Diplomatic Passport Holder pets and dogs with Government special purpose/license from Non Rabies Free country to Jakarta. This exception is given for pets from Non Rabies Free Country into Jakarta only with supporting letter from the Embassy or Consulate of the country origin.
Animal Quarantine at Soekarno-Hatta Jakarta Airport.
All pets arrive at Jakarta Airport must go into quarantine for maximum 14 day, including pets from Rabies Free Countries (such as Australia, England, Japan) and pets of Diplomatic passport holder.
Exceptional for pets in transit in Jakarta Airport only for destination to other Airport. All documents must be prepared to support this move and transit. Pets in transit at Jakarta Airport must stay at the quarantine in case of overnight to get connection the following day.
Jakarta Airport is one of the First Port Entry into Indonesia, so the importation process will be done at Jakarta Airport on arrival. Forwarding trip to the other Airport will be considered as domestic movement.
The Quarantine station located at the area of "Soekarno-Hatta" (Cengkareng-CGK) Airport, near lake on the left hand side after the entrance gate (from the direction from Jakarta Toll Road).
General requirements for importation documents: copy of owner passport, and copy of the valid rabies vaccination certificate/record also health certificate from the country of origin must be submitted to obtain an import permit from the Department of Agriculture with the recommendation letter given from destination region authority.
