Due Diligence
Risks & Considerations
Foreigners cannot own freehold land in Indonesia. Investments are typically structured as leasehold (25-30 years extendable) or through Indonesian entities.
Leasehold terms and extension rights should be carefully reviewed. The value of leasehold assets diminishes as the term shortens.
Rental yields depend heavily on tourism, which can be affected by external factors including pandemics, natural disasters, and economic conditions.
The regulatory environment for short-term rentals is evolving. Licensing requirements should be verified and maintained.

Common Questions
Bali Investment FAQ
Answers to the most frequently asked questions about investing in this market
Can foreigners own freehold property in Bali?
No. Freehold (Hak Milik) is strictly for Indonesian citizens. Avoid "nominee" arrangements where a local holds title on your behalf - this is illegal and risks total asset loss. Legal options are Leasehold (25-30 years) or ownership through a PT PMA company (Right to Build/HGB).
What is a PT PMA and do I need one?
A PT PMA is a foreign-owned Indonesian company that can hold land titles (HGB) and obtain commercial licenses for rental operations. Under BKPM Regulation No. 5/2025, paid-up capital has been reduced to IDR 2.5 billion (~USD 150,000). However, the company must still demonstrate total investment realization of more than IDR 10 billion (excluding land and buildings) over time. Note: Investor KITAS (residency) still requires holding at least IDR 10 billion in shares, as immigration rules were unchanged. Essential for legal short-term rental businesses.
Can I run my villa as an Airbnb legally?
Only with proper licensing. Individual leasehold ownership operates in a legal grey area for commercial rentals. For fully legal daily rentals, you need a PT PMA company with a Pondok Wisata (accommodation license). Operating without proper permits risks fines and immigration issues.
Is Canggu still a good investment?
Canggu remains popular but is now saturated with severe traffic congestion. Yields have normalized from 15-20% down to 8-12%. Many investors are pivoting to emerging areas: Pererenan/Seseh (Canggu lifestyle without chaos) or Uluwatu/Bingin (luxury segment, cliff-front premium).
What happens when my leasehold expires?
The property legally reverts to the landowner and your asset value becomes zero. Most contracts include a "priority right to extend" clause - negotiate the price mechanism for extensions before signing your initial lease to avoid unfavorable renegotiation later.
What are the typical yields in Bali?
Well-managed villas can achieve 8-12% gross yields, with premium properties occasionally higher. However, factor in: seasonality (low season May-October), management fees (15-25%), maintenance in tropical climate, and potential regulatory costs. These are indicative figures subject to assumptions and not guaranteed. Conservative underwriting is recommended.
