balipropertyguideForeign ownership, from the statute Ask about a property

Notes

Where the main pages are standing reference that changes only when the regulations do, these are written to a date: the things that are easier to show than to define, and the questions that come up once somebody has actually read their certificate.

Been asked for a deposit this week?

Tell us which part of Bali. No more than three businesses, and nothing is charged to you.

Ask about a specific property

Five questions. Your details are the last step, never the first.

Step 1 of 5
Where are you up to?

This decides whether the question is “how does this work” or “check this certificate before Friday”, and those are different pieces of work.

Which ownership route is on the table?

“I do not know” is a normal answer and it is not a worse one. It is simply the most common thing a first-time buyer here has not been told.

What is your Indonesian immigration status?

This one is not a formality. Under PP 18/2021 art. 69(1) a foreigner can only hold a home while holding a valid immigration document, and the land office asks for it again at every extension and renewal.

When do you expect to decide?

No wrong answer here either. It only decides whether anyone should be getting in touch this week or in six months.

Where should they reach you?

This is the only step that asks for personal details.

By clicking “Send my questions” I agree that balipropertyguide.com may pass the answers above to no more than three property agencies or Indonesian legal advisers that advertise for Bali, so that they can contact me by email, phone or messaging app about the purchase I have described. Consent is a condition of nothing — every page, guide and calculator on this site works without it. You can withdraw consent at any time by replying to any message you receive or by writing to us through the enquiry form on any page. We are not an agency, a notary or a law firm, and sending this creates no professional relationship with anyone; the disclaimer linked in the footer sets out the whole arrangement.

  • No obligation to speak to, instruct or pay anyone
