Bali Villas For Sale Freehold

No. Foreign buyers cannot own Hak Milik (Freehold) property in Indonesia under Law No. 5 of 1960 (Basic Agrarian Law). However, they can establish a PT PMA as an alternative, which grants HGB (Hak Guna Bangunan) and Hak Pakai — giving them the legal right to purchase, own, invest, and operate a business under a foreign-owned entity.

Freehold gives full ownership of the land and building with no time limit. Leasehold lets foreigners lease the land for 25–30 years (extendable), providing usage rights but without actual ownership of the land. Read our full Freehold vs. Leasehold comparison for more details

Foreigners can set up a PT PMA (foreign-owned company) to hold land under Hak Guna Bangunan (Right to Build), or buy under Hak Pakai (Right to Use) if they have a KITAS/KITAP.

Full ownership, unlimited duration, and full control over the land and property, including rights to sell, rent, or pass it on.

Owners must pay property tax, maintain the property, and comply with local zoning and building regulations.

Yes, freehold property can be legally inherited and passed down to heirs with no expiry — but this applies to Indonesian citizens only. For PT PMA owners, the business itself cannot be directly inherited; instead, heirs inherit the corporate shares of the PT PMA.
