Can foreigners buy property in Lombok?
Foreigners cannot directly own freehold land (Hak Milik) in Indonesia, but there are two legal and secure investment options:
1️⃣ Leasehold (Hak Sewa) – The Most Common Property Investment Option
- ✔ Foreigners can lease land or property for up to 80 years.
- ✔ No need for an Indonesian partner or company.
- ✔ Ideal for villa investments, rental properties, and personal use.
💡 Best for Buying a villa in Kuta, Selong Belanak, or Tampah Hills to rent out on Airbnb.
2️⃣ PT PMA (Foreign-Owned Company) – Own Property & Start a Business
- ✔ Allows foreign investors to legally buy and develop land.
- ✔ Grants a Hak Guna Bangunan (HGB) title, which allows full property control.
- ✔ Can operate a business, such as a boutique hotel or rental management company.
💡 Best for Investors looking to develop larger projects, like hotels, eco-resorts, and commercial properties.
