Yes, foreigners can legally buy property in Bali, but ownership structures differ from those available to Indonesian citizens. The two most common ways foreigners can invest in Bali real estate are:

• Leasehold Ownership (Hak Sewa): A long-term lease agreement where you lease land or a villa for 25–30 years, often with an option to extend for another 20–30 years. This is the most popular and secure way for foreigners to purchase property in Bali.
• Foreign-Owned Company (PT PMA): By setting up a foreign investment company (PT PMA), foreigners can acquire Hak Guna Bangunan (HGB), which allows for freehold-style ownership for up to 80 years with extensions.

At Bali 360, our expert team will guide you through the best option for your investment goals.

• Freehold (Hak Milik): Only available to Indonesian citizens. It grants full ownership of both the land and property indefinitely.
• Leasehold (Hak Sewa): A long-term agreement where the buyer leases the land and property for a fixed period (typically 25–30 years). Leasehold properties can be extended, resold, or transferred to another buyer.

Many foreign investors choose leasehold properties due to their affordability and flexibility while still offering excellent rental returns and capital appreciation.

A standard leasehold agreement in Bali typically lasts between 25 and 30 years. Most contracts include options to extend for another 20–30 years, giving investors long-term security. Bali 360 ensures lease agreements are structured properly to protect your investment and guarantee smooth extensions.

To avoid risks, buyers should conduct comprehensive due diligence before purchasing a villa or land in Bali. Key legal aspects include:

• Ownership Verification: Ensuring the seller has the legal right to sell the property.
• Land Titles & Zoning: Checking if the land is designated for tourism, residential, or commercial use.
• Building Permits (IMB/PBG): Verifying the villa has legal permits for construction and rentals.
• Lease Agreements: Ensuring lease contracts are transparent and legally binding.

At Bali 360, we handle all legal checks with our trusted notaries and legal experts, giving you complete confidence in your purchase.

Most Indonesian banks do not offer mortgages to foreign buyers. Property purchases in Bali are usually made in cash or through private financing arrangements. Bali 360 can connect buyers with legal advisors and financing solutions if needed.

When purchasing a villa or land in Bali, buyers should consider:

• Buyer’s Tax: 10% VAT (if purchasing from a developer).
• Seller’s Tax: 5% of the sale price (usually paid by the seller).
• Notary & Legal Fees: Typically 1–2% of the property price.
• Lease Transfer Fees: May apply if acquiring a leasehold from an existing owner.

At Bali 360, we ensure all costs are transparent, so there are no hidden fees or surprises.

Yes, short-term rentals are legal in Bali if the property has the correct licenses. To operate a rental villa, you need:

• Pondok Wisata License: Required for short-term vacation rentals.
• Proper Zoning: The villa must be in a designated tourism zone (not residential).
