Understanding Leasehold vs. Freehold Property in Bali

[Understanding Leasehold v]

One key aspect of buying property in Bali is the distinction between leasehold and freehold ownership. Foreigners can purchase freehold land only through an Indonesian nominee, which carries legal risks.

Each type has pros and cons—freehold provides permanence, while leasehold may be easier to manage. It's essential to verify land certificates and consult a legal expert before committing.
