Foreigners cannot directly own freehold (Hak Milik) land in Indonesia under current laws. However, foreigners can legally control and use property through several recognized structures:
Leasehold (Hak Sewa): long-term lease agreements, typically 25–30 years, extendable
Hak Pakai (Right of Use): allows foreign individuals with KITAS/KITAP to legally use residential property
PT PMA company structure: allows a foreign-owned company to acquire certain rights such as Hak Guna Bangunan (Right to Build) for business or investment purposes
Each option has different rights, costs, risks, and tax implications, so choosing the correct structure is very important. Regulations also differ between land, villa, apartment, and commercial property.
