FAQ
Q: Can a foreigner buy property in Bali?
Foreigners cannot hold Indonesian freehold title (Hak Milik). The common legal options are leasehold arrangements (Hak Sewa), Hak Pakai in qualifying cases, or ownership through a properly structured foreign-invested company (PT PMA), depending on the intended use and applicable rules.
Q: What is due diligence in a Bali property transaction?
Due diligence means checking title, seller authority, encumbrances, disputes, zoning, land use status, and other risks before money changes hands. It is one of the most important steps in any Bali property purchase.
Q: What taxes apply when buying property in Bali as a foreigner?
Property transactions in Indonesia may involve BPHTB and other taxes depending on the structure of the deal and the parties involved. Rates, thresholds, and payment responsibility can change, so the exact tax treatment should be verified for the specific transaction before completion.
Q: What happens if there is a dispute over a property I bought in Bali?
Property disputes can involve title fraud, lease breaches, nominee arrangements, boundary issues, or zoning problems. VLO can assist with negotiation, mediation, litigation, and related dispute resolution steps.
