Find Your Perfect Property in Indonesia

As a foreigner, you cannot own freehold (Hak Milik) property in Indonesia. This is a fundamental rule of Indonesian land law that many newcomers overlook.

However, leasehold agreements (Hak Sewa or Hak Pakai) of 25–30 years are the standard and legally recognized way for foreigners to secure property. These agreements can often be extended and provide a solid foundation for both living and investment purposes.

Always work with a licensed notary (PPAT) and verify all documents before signing. A proper due diligence process protects your investment and ensures legal compliance.

The Indonesian rental market offers both short-term and long-term options, each with different terms and price structures. Monthly rentals typically require a deposit of 1–3 months upfront.

Yearly contracts are common for villas and houses, often paid annually in advance. This is different from Western monthly rent cycles, so plan your budget accordingly.

Utility costs (electricity, water, internet) are usually not included in the rent price. Make sure to clarify all additional costs before signing your agreement to avoid surprises.
