Ways to Invest
Legal Pathways for Property Investment in Bali
Bali offers multiple ways for foreign and local investors to legally hold property, each with specific use cases, benefits, and requirements. Here’s how we guide you through them:
- PT PMA (Foreign-Owned Company):
Allows foreigners to legally acquire property under a company structure. Ideal for buyers seeking long-term ownership, rental income, and tax compliance. - Leasehold (Personal Name):
Foreigners can lease land for 25–30 years (renewable). More affordable entry point with limited control over land beyond lease period. - Freehold (Indonesian Citizens Only):
Foreigners may hold freehold titles via a PT PMA or by structuring ownership with an Indonesian nominee — both require proper legal guidance.
We help you select the right path based on your goals and risk profile.
Land & Zoning
Understanding Bali’s Zoning Laws Before You Buy
Zoning dictates what can be built, where, and how a property can be used. These classifications directly impact your ability to rent, develop, or resell.
Common zoning types include:
- Green Zones: Agricultural use only — no development permitted
- Yellow Zones: Residential housing, often for locals
- Blue Zones: Commercial and tourism use — ideal for villas and rentals
- Red Zones: Markets, malls, and office spaces
- Pink Zones: Hotels, resorts, and tourism-use villas
- Orange Zones: Mixed-use — commercial and residential permitted
Our legal team ensures zoning compliance before you commit to any deal.
