Bringing my dog to Bali

[Sanurian]

Hi markit

...Well, it doesn't sound like you want someone to add to your dog problems but I am anticipating bringing mine with me when we come...

Welcome to the bureaucratic merry-go-round! It certainly doesn't surprise me.

If you look through the archives on this forum, you will find many previous posts concerning the bringing of pets into Indonesia. The bottom line is that it can be an expensive process.

Good luck.

Hey Sanurian,

Thank you for your kind posting and as to the bureaucratic merry.... etc. I am not a stranger to it, having lived in Germany. Butt, and it is a big one, I have searched through the past posts and found nothing on that theme about dogs. Thousands of mails about the sweetness and beauty of cats (personally I hate em) and reams and reams about your pet project with the strays, but about importing dogs into Bali I drew a blank - hence my question.

Markit, I found a couple of threads in the archives:

Try searching the archives with "Dog" and "Import".

How nice are you?

I'll do what you suggested. When I looked for "dogs" and "pets" I got about every thread ever written.

Again thanks

Here's another thread with some good information, even if it is a couple of years old.

Again Matsaleh you are worth your weight in crunchy bars (that's what the flea bag says, anyway). One last itty bitty thing:

*Local Import Permit must be obtained from the Indonesian Agricultural Department before pet arrives

What would be the best method of "attacking" this?

Tried their website and it's less than informative, as to whom to talk to.

Would there be a Bali connection, ie an agency in Bali that would deal with us/it when we visit?

Sorry don't mean to come across as a complete idiot but IMHO it's always best to play dumb and be believed than to play smart and thought dumb - so ask lots of questions. Bit tiring for the askee perhaps - sorry. :roll:

Markit, I agree with you about the Ministry of Agriculture's website; it's not very informative.

To avoid the hassles of tiresome red-tape and having to deal with Indonesian bureaucracy, I'd strongly suggest you contact a professional "pet mover" in the UK. I searched Google and came up with a few.

Will you marry a plump, bald, poor, slightly alcoholic, middle aged white guy? I need looking after... (adult supervision at the least).

Sorry, I don't like dogs. :oops: :P
