Bali Property Investment for Foreign Buyers in Indonesia
Hak Pakai and leasehold structures · Indonesia · Oakbrick ORN 63221
Why invest in Bali 🇮🇩
No foreigner holds freehold in Indonesia. What is available is Hak Pakai right-of-use, which requires a residency permit and clears a minimum value, long leasehold, or a PT PMA company holding the land. Each answers the tenure question differently, and each has an exit worth thinking about early.
Indonesia’s lifestyle capital draws long-stay residents and yield-seekers. Foreign ownership runs through leasehold and structured arrangements, navigable, but only with the right local diligence behind you.

Tax & ownership
At a glance (tap to expand)
Foreigners cannot hold Indonesian freehold (Hak Milik).
Ownership is via Leasehold (Hak Sewa, ~25–30 yrs, renewable), Right to Use (Hak Pakai) with a permit, or a foreign-owned company (PT PMA).
Acquisition tax, notary/registration fees and an annual land & building tax apply; rental income is taxable.
Residency options include the investor / second-home KITAS.
