Bali continues to draw property buyers from around the world, but the process of purchasing real estate here looks quite different from what most foreigners are used to at home. Indonesian law restricts direct freehold ownership by non-citizens, so understanding the available structures, such as leasehold agreements or a PT PMA (foreign-owned company), is the first step before you start browsing listings.
Beyond ownership structure, buyers should budget for notary fees, due diligence on land certificates, and taxes that apply at the point of transaction. Working with a team who understands both the legal landscape and the local market helps avoid costly surprises down the line.
At Sea You Property, we guide investors through every stage of the process, from shortlisting properties that match their goals to coordinating with trusted legal partners for a smooth, transparent transaction.
