Who is it for?

  • Those open to investing through leasehold or a company (PT) structure.
  • Those targeting a villa in Canggu, Seminyak, or Ubud.

Leasehold and Ownership Structure

In Indonesia, foreigners generally cannot acquire direct full (freehold) ownership. Investment is mostly made through long-term leasehold (typically 25-30 years, renewable) or a PT PMA company structure. For this reason, solid legal counsel and choosing the right structure are critical.

Tourism Yield and Points of Caution

In areas such as Canggu, Seminyak, and Ubud, villas can generate gross short-term yields of 10-18% due to strong tourism demand; long-term yield stands at 5-9%. However, matters such as management, regulation, and the leasehold term should be closely monitored, and the property and structure legally verified.
