Foreign nationals generally cannot hold freehold land title in Indonesia. Villa investments are therefore commonly structured as long-term leaseholds.

A 30 + 30 year lease gives an initial term of 30 years with the option to extend for a further 30, subject to the conditions in the lease agreement.

What to check in a lease

Look at the extension terms and any costs attached to them, what happens if the land is sold, and how the lease can be transferred. These details affect both your rental period and resale.

Our team can walk you through the lease structure before you reserve, and we recommend having your own lawyer review the documents.
