 Chonki | Our dog Chonki is 6 years old (mid life), and we are planning to be in Bali for 5 years - so he needs to come with us, but it's not likely that he will come back. We have searched out information on importing dogs to Bali, and just today - one month before we leave - have sent our applicatiion for an import permit to Jakarta. We will keep you posted on progress - but for now here is some of the background information. |
I rang the Indonesian Embassy in Canberra, and the lady gave me an e-mail address so I could send my query in writing. Here detailed replay was: In response to your email regarding importation of a dog into Bali, please consider the following requirements: Request of Importation - Request of importations of dog into Indonesia must be made one month before the importation to: Director of Animal Health Directorate General of Livestock Production Management Department of Agriculture Building C, 9th Floor Jalan Harsono RM No. 3 Ragunan, Pasar Minggu, Jakarta Selatan Ph : 62-21 781 0090, 782 7466 Fax : 62-21 781 5783 - In the importation request, should be stated the information about the animal (sex, age, color, specific mark, name of the animal, address in Indonesia).
