Foreigners cannot directly own freehold land in Indonesia, but there are several legal and secure mechanisms that allow property use and investment:
1. Lease Agreement (Hak Sewa) – Foreigners can lease land or villas for up to 25–30 years, renewable by contract.
2. Right to Use (Hak Pakai) – For residential or business purposes, registered under a foreign individual or a PT PMA.
3. PT PMA Ownership – A legally established foreign-investment company that can hold certain property rights.
Each method offers different levels of flexibility, duration, and legal protection.
