Understanding Freehold Ownership in Bali

Freehold ownership allows foreigners to own property in Bali permanently through a PT PMA (Penanaman Modal Asing) - a foreign-owned Indonesian company. This structure provides the strongest property rights available to non-Indonesians.

How Freehold Works

  1. Establish a PT PMA - Set up a foreign-owned Indonesian company (typically $1,500-3,000 setup cost)
  2. Company Holds Title - The PT PMA holds the HGB (Hak Guna Bangunan) land certificate
  3. You Control the Company - As shareholder and director, you control the property
  4. Inherit or Sell - Transfer shares to heirs or sell the company with the property

Advantages of Freehold

  • Permanent Ownership - Full ownership with no expiration concerns
  • Asset Protection - Proper legal structure protects your investment
  • Generational Transfer - Pass to heirs without renegotiation
  • Full Control - Develop, renovate, or commercialize as you wish
  • Banking Access - Easier to obtain financing against the property
