FAQ

Your questions, answered

  • Do I need a special visa to purchase property in Bali?
    No, you do not need a special visa to purchase property in Bali. However, it's important to note that while you can legally purchase property, foreign nationals are not allowed to own freehold land under Indonesian law. Instead, you can obtain property through a right of use (Hak Pakai) or leasehold (Hak Sewa) agreement, which provides control and use of the property for a set period.
  • Can foreigners buy property in Bali?
    Yes, foreigners can buy property in Bali, but there are specific regulations and limitations they must adhere to. According to Indonesian law, foreigners cannot own freehold land directly. However, they can obtain property through a long-term leasehold agreement or through a Right to Use title (Hak Pakai). Leasehold agreements can last up to 25 years with options to extend. For a more secure investment, some foreigners set up an Indonesian legal entity (PT PMA) that can hold property titles. Bali Final Website specializes in guiding clients through this complex process, ensuring compliance with all local regulations and helping to secure the best possible terms. If you're a foreigner interested in buying property in Bali, our team of experts is ready to assist you every step of the way.
  • What type of Bali properties can a foreigner invest in?
    Foreigners can invest in the following types of properties: 1. Residential Villas: Luxurious and serene, perfect for personal use or as a rental property. 2. Commercial Properties: Ideal for businesses looking to establish their presence in Bali's thriving market. 3. Land Plots: For those interested in developing their own projects, from villas to boutique hotels. 4. Resorts and Hotels: Excellent for investors looking to enter Bali’s booming tourism industry. Each property type comes with its specific set of investment benefits and potential returns. Our team is here to guide you through every step of your investment journey, ensuring you make informed decisions.
  • Why should I choose Bali properties for investment?
    Investing in Bali properties offers several benefits that make it an attractive option for both seasoned investors and those new to the market. - Bali is renowned for its stunning natural landscapes, vibrant culture, and burgeoning tourism industry, all of which contribute to a high demand for real estate. This demand ensures strong rental yields and attractive property appreciation rates. - Additionally, Bali has favorable regulations for foreign investors, making the purchasing process more straightforward. - The island’s infrastructure is continually improving, further boosting property values. We can help you gain access to local expertise, a wide network of contacts, and personalized service.
  • What kind of visas can I get as a Bali property investor?
    As a Bali property investor, there are several visa options available to you. The most common ones include: 1. Investor KITAS: The Investor KITAS (Limited Stay Permit) allows you to reside in Indonesia as an investor. To qualify, you must invest a significant amount of capital in an Indonesian company. This visa is usually valid for one year and renewable, giving you the flexibility to stay in Bali for extended periods. 2. Business Visa: If you're not looking to stay in Bali long-term but want to manage your property investments periodically, a Business Visa may be suitable. This visa permits multiple entries over a year and allows stays of up to 60 days per visit. It's ideal for investors who need to travel to Bali frequently for business-related activities. 3. Retirement Visa: For investors over 55 years old, the Retirement KITAS could be an option. Although not specifically for property investment, it allows you to live in Bali and manage your investments. This visa requires proof of a pension or retirement income and minimum investment in the property or leasing of a home. 4. Social, Tourist, or Cultural Visa: These short-term visas can be used if you're planning to visit Bali to explore investment opportunities. While they do not permit long-term stays or business activities, they can be a starting point for initial visits and research. Before applying for any visa, it's crucial to consult with a legal expert or an immigration consultant to ensure you meet all the requirements and choose the best option for your specific needs. We can assist you in navigating the legalities and processes involved, making your property investment journey in Bali smooth and compliant with local regulations.
