Indonesia: I have given up on bringing my dog:

Dear BillBo, yes indeed some regulations might changed in the last two years, my best suggestion is to contact the Indonesia embassy in your state, then ask them to give you a contact number for Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture, ask them both about the regulations of bringing dog to their country, make sure they both are saying the same thing, cause sometime they give you different information. It is also helpful to have local people to help you with the quarantine process, I have a contact number for this guy I know who help people bring their dogs to the country. Please let me know if you're still interested. Hope this help.

Indonesia: Moving to Java with a dog:

Dear Samantha, I moved to Jakarta, Indonesia from Alaska with my dog couple years ago. I flew with my dog in the same flight. First you need to contact the Indonesia's ministry of agriculture (you can contact the Indonesia embassy) and get the requirement of bringing the dog to their country, then just follow the requirement you need to do before bringing your dog, such as getting all the vaccines. Taking care the paperwork was no problem at all, but when you have to deal with the indonesian authority at the airport was a bit tricky and complicated. Your dog has to stay in quarantine for quite sometime, I stayed with my dog the whole time in the quarantine facility because not many Indonesian fancy dog. Most of them are Moslem and touching dog are forbidden. My dog only stay in quarantine for 4 days because I used the service of this lady who jobs is to import champion dogs, so that the quarantine process is not too complicated and fast, I had to pay extra money about $300 a couple years ago. Usually they stay there for 2 weeks but with that extra $300 my dog only stayed there for 4 days. I can give you contact information if you like. Hope that help.
