In South Sumatra region, property prices are generally lower than in the country's more developed regions, so investment opportunities are worth evaluating, however local information gathering is necessary to determine the specific possibilities for the given district and settlement. Clarification of supplementary regulations applying to foreigners in Indonesia is advised, since property regulations in the country are strict: foreign nationals typically cannot own agricultural land or residential plots permanently, only can acquire long-term lease rights, virtually exclusively in limited sectors (for example tourism, agriculture). Examination of specific investment opportunities is recommended with local professionals.
Safety and security

No specific security risks are known for the region, but staying informed before and during travel is necessary.
