Hello,
My first post!
I am moving to Bali early next year, and would like to bring our beloved labrador.
Can anyone tell us if this is possible? & what the costs, and requirements are?
She is a specially trained medical assistance dog, same training and as a guide dog, with public access in Australia. She usually comes in the plane to sit in the cabin with us in Aust!
I do realise this won't be accepted the same in Bali, but she will be happy with the freedom of a big yard & sunshine.
We will be coming from Perth, Australia.
Also what is the approx cost of a 2 /3 bedroom villa anywhere between Umalus & Canngu with pool, and good standards for bathroom / kitchen. Open plan would be preferred.
Where would you suggest looking for villa rentals? I've been suggested Bali advertiser, and notice boards around Bali - can people suggest the notice boards locations please?
Also what is a resonable amount to to live on in Bali per month? We will not start our business for few months & would like to irganize our savings to last. We would eat out moderatly - once a week or so & live simply. Can't wait!
Thank you all very much for your time :) it is very much appreciated as we embark on our new adventure! :D
Thanks,
Nashcrof

To my knowledge dogs at the present time cannot be taken in to Bali because of the recent Rabies epidemic,I hope I am wrong.No use looking at archive posts as most of them were posted before the outbreak of Rabies. Suggest you contact Indonesian Consul where you live.
When I looked into the same question before the Rabies scare there were then only 3 places that were allowed to bring dogs from without problem and they were all Rabies free islands - The UK, Malta and I think it was Sicily or some such. The rest of the world could bring dogs but they had to stay in quarantine for at least 6 months.
Now if you are a dog love you just could not contemplate doing that to old Fido now could you? I for sure would not want him stuck in a nasty little cage amongst strangers for that length of time - who knows what you would get back?
What the situation is now I don't know - please say when you find out.
any update on this?
What about cat's?
Cats have always been a no no. Dogs still a no no as far as I am aware.

Looking to move from UK to Bali this year with a lap dog in tow.Doable??
Whats the method that keeps him away friom the cage?
Not doable. All imports are banned because of the rabies epidemic. Any back door entery is illegal

I can't help but agree with you Jimbo. Although there always are ways of 'getting around the law' I believe to combat corruption it's best not to try.
However as to this law. Why would bringing dogs into an already rabies infested island be a problem? Surely exporting dogs from Bali is the big no no.
Just a thought.
To jakarta no problem,..legal.
jakarta to banyuwangi no problem..legal.
getting aboard the ferry crossing to gillimanuk no problem,..but illegal.
Same thought, I also don't see the reasoning behind the law of the import being a problem,
indeed the exporting should be a no no.
don't read between the lines..i think the words are clear enough...:)
