Overview
Indonesia is one of the more demanding destinations for pet imports. A 30-day mandatory quarantine at a BARANTAN-designated facility, a FAVN titre test, and an import permit from Badan Karantina Indonesia are all required. Start this process four to six months before your planned move, and use an experienced pet transport agent who knows the iQFast system and the quarantine facility logistics.

The BARANTAN iQFast permit: start here

Before anything else, apply for the BARANTAN import permit through the iQFast online portal. This is the Indonesian government’s authorisation for your pet to enter Indonesia, and it specifies the approved entry point, the quarantine facility, and the documentation requirements for your specific pet.

Without the permit, the flight booking is premature. The iQFast system processes applications from registered accounts. An experienced Indonesian pet transport agent can assist with the application if the online process is unfamiliar. Allow 4 to 8 weeks for permit processing and potential queries.

30-day quarantine: planning for it

Indonesia’s 30-day quarantine is not negotiable and exists across all entry points. Your pet is held at a BARANTAN-designated facility at Soekarno-Hatta (CGK) or another approved entry airport. The owner is responsible for all quarantine costs, including facility fees, food, and veterinary checks during the stay.

Budget carefully: quarantine facility costs in Indonesia vary but can be significant over 30 days. Your cargo agent or an Indonesian pet transport specialist can advise on the current facility costs at CGK and how to arrange the booking in advance of your pet’s arrival.

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.
