Leasehold is the most common structure for foreign investors in Bali. You acquire the right to use the land for a set period typically 25 to 30 years with renewal clauses built into the contract. Freehold represents full ownership of the property and land. Foreign individuals cannot hold Freehold directly, but it can be structured through a local company (PT PMA), depending on the type of investment and legal framework. Most real estate investments in Bali especially short-term rental and yield-focused projects are structured as Leasehold. More important than choosing between the two is ensuring correct documentation, full legal due diligence, clear extension clauses, and a developer you can trust.

Yes. Foreign investors can acquire property in Bali under their own name through the Leasehold model, using legally structured contracts. Depending on your goals, purchasing through a local entity (PT PMA) may also be an option particularly for commercial operations or specific property types. The right structure depends on your profile and investment objectives.

Yes. Most of our investors purchase without being physically present in Indonesia throughout the process. Contracts, documentation, payments, construction updates and legal oversight can all be managed remotely with the right local team in place. Distance isn't the risk. The risk is not having the right people executing on the ground validating documents, managing the build, and keeping you informed at every stage. That's exactly what Field is here for.

Yes when the investment is properly structured. Bali has become one of the fastest-growing real estate markets in the world for short-term rental and lifestyle investment. But like any high-growth market, risks exist. And most of them don't come from the market itself they come from poor execution. Safety depends on validated documentation, legal land due diligence, well-structured contracts, proper licensing, and a developer with a real track record. Most problems in Bali happen when investors enter projects without verifying who is actually behind the execution. Investing in Bali can be an exceptional decision. Investing with the right partner makes all the difference.
