Can Australians Buy Villas In Bali?
31 October 2022 by Seo ManagerIt’s a well-known fact that Australians love Bali! Just take a walk through any of the tourist towns of Seminyak, Kuta and Legian and you’ll see an Aussie at every corner. Aussies love Bali so much that they return year after year, many of whom first step foot on the island as a child, and eventually return to the island with their own families in tow. Bali is the perfect place to own villa property for Australians, but many of them didn’t know how to buy villas in Bali. Australians have a special relationship with the locals. The Balinese are wonderfully kind and polite, while Australians are naturally friendly and fun. This goes together well, and many returning tourists would develop wonderful friendships with the locals, whom they consider their “Balinese family”. Balinese are always happy to welcome their jolly and friendly friends Without the Aussies, Bali just wouldn’t be the same and the Balinese are always happy to welcome their jolly and friendly friends from down under every time. In fact, many Australians have set down roots here, making the island their semi-permanent home. With many stunning villas available for long-term lease or rent here in Bali, it’s easy enough to pack up and move. So the question is, can Australians buy villas in Bali? One of the most important things to understand before you purchase anything is the legalities and the Indonesian property law, which clearly states that foreigners aren’t legally allowed to own land or property in Indonesia. But don’t worry, all is not lost. There are 3 main types of property ownership in Indonesia - Hak Milik / Freehold; Hak Pakai / Right Of Use; and Hak Guna Bangunan / Right To Build. The second option – Hak Pakai / Right Of Use – would be the best option for an Australian person who wishes to buy a villa in Bali. It lets you “purchase” a leasehold Bali property. Simply put, a “lease” means a long-term rent of a property – you “own” the property for a number of years whether 25 or 70 years, depending on your agreement with the owner. This does not include the land that the property stands on. With a built-in extension of 25 years, the title comes with renewal after 20 years with only a small tax implication. Plus, there is no mention anywhere in Indonesian law that these extensions or renewals cannot be continued as long as it is done on state-owned land. Some restrictions to this title would include the size of land and property and that you must hold a valid permit to stay in Indonesia such as a KITAP or a KITAS. If you’re planning to build a villa from scratch, remember that you must also obtain an accommodation license and a permit to build, known as Ijin Mendirikan Bangunan (IMB). Ready to buy a beautiful Bali villa or build your very own? You’ll need to engage the services of a trusted, reliable, and credible property agent here in Bali. If this is your first time navigating the Indonesian property landscape, trust us when we say that doing it by yourself can be quite a challenge. It will also take up a lot of your time.

First Time In Bali? Seminyak Is All You Need
29 September 2022 by Seo ManagerComing to Bali and are unsure of which area to stay in? Then we’d definitely recommend Seminyak. Bali’s most “cosmopolitan” city comes with exciting surprises in the form of world-class shopping, dining and fun. There is something for everyone and for all ages to enjoy. In addition to being one of Bali’s most popular tourist destinations, Seminyak is also a favourite of expatriates. Bali’s most famous upmarket town stretches from the borders of Kuta and Legian all the way to Kerobokan and is located some 9km away from Ngurah Rai International Airport. Seminyak in general would include the neighbouring towns of Petitenget and Umalas. The beach here is called Seminyak Beach and is the spot for sunset sessions. Pop into any of the restaurants and beach bars that are lined up along the shoreline to enjoy delicious cocktails and live music. Along Jalan Raya Seminyak and Jalan Kayu Aya, which is also known as Jalan Laksamana, you’ll find some truly fantastic shopping, dining, spa, bars and clubs which would all be accessible on foot. Jalan Kayu Aya is often referred to as “Eat Street”. Here, you’ll find some of the best restaurants such as Ultimo, Italian Job, Chandi, Batik Restaurant & Bar, and many more. For after-dinner drinks, head to Red Carpet Champagne Bar or one of the many bars that line the street for delicious cocktails and live music. The Fashion Capital of Bali Jalan Laksamana is a shopping paradise with the biggest designer brands such as Magali Pascal, Lulu Yasmin, Uluwatu Lace and Bamboo Blonde. There are also unique local shops selling trinkets, accessories, souvenirs and arts and crafts. Along Jalan Raya Seminyak, you’ll find everything from designer brands and Balinese sarongs to handmade accessories, local clothing, leather sandals, souvenirs, home décor and even artwork. So now that you know all about Bali’s most popular thriving beach town, it’s time to start planning your stay and what better way to enjoy all that Seminyak has to offer than by staying in a beautiful and modern, tropical Bali villa? A great example would be Villa Tokyo. This is a stunning, modern and contemporary villa with a unique design in the most sought-after location.

Common Mistakes People Make When Buying Land in Bali
20 September 2022 by Seo ManagerSo you’ve taken the plunge and have decided to go ahead and buy land in Bali! Congratulations, this is going to be an exciting time for you. Being a landowner in Bali means that you’re investing in one of the most wanted locations in the world –your investment will only yield high returns as time goes by. Additionally, buying land in Bali is one of the surest and safest ways to park your money and grow your asset portfolio. Even if you’re not developing the land yet, you can just leave the land there with little to no risks. Unlike properties, land does not require maintenance, electricity, or security. All you have to do is just make sure no one is squatting or illegally building on your land. But before you sign on the dotted line, let’s take a look at some common mistakes that people make when buying land in Bali and what you can do to avoid them. Skipping out on background checks Before any transaction takes place, it would be wise to do your due diligence and find out more about the land that you’re looking to purchase. Make sure that you’re dealing directly with the owner or a trusted and accredited real estate firm with direct ties to the owner. It’s unfortunate that in many cases, there are “middlemen” involved which could cause you problems in the long term. It might be tempting to just skip all the red tape and put your trust in the friendly salesman, but remember that you’re putting a lot at risk. The best way to check if the land and owner are “clean” would be to enlist the services of a property lawyer and a notary. No Understanding Of Indonesia’s Property Laws At this stage, it’s important to understand that only Indonesians can purchase or own land/property in the country. No foreigners are allowed to do so and if someone is telling you that you can, that is a huge red flag. Make sure you understand the basic land/property types which comprise the following: The “freehold” title or “Hak Milik” means that only Indonesian citizens can hold this title. If you’re a foreigner and you’re tempted to hold a freehold land, it will automatically be deemed void, and therefore, the land will automatically belong to the government. A secondary title, known as “Right of Use” or “Hak Pakai” is the best option for a foreigner. With a built-in extension of 25 years, the title comes with renewal after 20 years with only a small tax implication. Restrictions include the size of land and property and you must hold a valid permit to stay in Indonesia such as a KITAP or a KITAS. The third title is a commercial title; “Hak Guna Bangunan”, which means “right to build”. This title is compulsory for both foreign and Indonesian companies buying, selling, or managing villas for commercial purposes. Remember to also speak to your lawyers and notary about property tax and other taxation involved when buying land in Bali. No Understanding Of Zoning Laws and Regulations Understanding zoning laws is extremely important as it will tell you what you can and cannot do with your land. Some areas are zoned for tourism which is great for villas, guesthouses and hotels. Certain zones are slated for residential, forestry, conservation, green, industrial and trade and service. Some properties may not even have road access, which will be expensive for you to undertake. Be sure to speak to your lawyer or notary to understand which zone the land that you’re planning to buy falls under and if you’re even allowed to build on that land at all. No understanding of the local culture or “adat” It’s very important to understand the neighbourhood where your land is located in. Every village in Bali is governed by a “banjar” - a council of village leaders with their own sets of rules, guidelines and regulations. Spend some time understanding the local neighbourhood laws, important cultural practices and religious days. There might be fees that you’d need to pay the Banjar every now and then, which would go back into the village. Speak to other foreigners in the area who might be willing to share their experiences with you so you can be mentally prepared. Ready to buy land in Bali?

Good Strategy To Buy Leasehold in Bali
12 August 2022 by Seo ManagerOn the market for a Bali villa? Well, now is one of the best times to start looking! There are hundreds, if not thousands of villas in Bali so our advice to you is to start narrowing down your search based on criteria. One of the most important things to understand before you purchase anything is legalities and Indonesian property law. There are 3 main types of property ownership here in Indonesia and if you’re a foreign citizen, it would be good to know early on that foreigners aren’t legally allowed to own land or property in Indonesia. The next best thing to do is to “purchase” a leasehold property. Simply put, a “lease” means a long-term rent of a property – you “own” the property for a number of years whether 25 or 70 years, depending on your agreement with the owner. This does not include the land that the property stands on. Depending on your agreement with the owner, payments can either be made annually, or you can make full payments upfront to cover the entire duration of the lease. Once the lease has expired, you can either negotiate to renew the lease or the property will be returned to the rightful owner and reverted back to its freehold status. This option has worked incredibly well for foreigners who wish to have their own property in Bali or for those who are looking to buy and let. Just take a look at all of the expat areas in South Bali and you can see this for yourself. You can also speak to us at Bali Coconut Living. We’re experts in the Bali property law and a Seminyak-based villa property agent that is always ready to serve you if you need assistance in buying, selling, and even maintaining a villa for your passive income.

Outdoor Activities in Bali That Can Excite You

Whether you are planning to stay only for a few weeks, a few months or for the long-term, moving to a brand new location in another part of the world is always exciting. There’s so much to look forward to, new friends to make and thrilling activities to try. Here in South Bali, you’ll never run out of things to do. This is especially true in Canggu, Seminyak, Ubud and Sanur. Now that the tourists are back, the streets are alive again and thriving! Restaurants, bars and clubs are running at full capacity, great shopping, and for those who prefer physical activities, yoga, watersports and surfing lessons to enjoy. Cultural activities are also available, such as temple and waterfall excursions and Balinese dance shows and performances. Let’s take a look at some exciting outdoor activities that you can do while you’re in Bali. 1. Enroll in a yoga class You can’t be in Bali without trying out a yoga class or two! Yoga engages with the mind, body and spirit, keeping those who practice it fit and healthy. Practising yoga can help anyone achieve inner calm while developing a healthy and mindful lifestyle. There are loads of yoga classes everywhere in Bali – whether you choose to stay in Canggu, Sanur, Seminyak or Ubud. 2. Go surfing South Bali is a world-famous surfing destination. So renowned are Uluwatu, Padang-Padang and Balangan Beach that they attract the biggest international names in surfing. International competitions are also often held here throughout the year with the biggest brands as title sponsors. If you’re a beginner, worry not – you can always go for surfing lessons on Kuta Beach before trying out the waves in Uluwatu! 3. Go On A Temple Tour There’s nothing quite as fascinating as Bali’s beautiful temples. These ancient places of worship date back centuries, with stunning architecture and fascinating backstories. Book yourself a temple tour with a guide who could give you interesting facts and insights about the temples you visit. Bali’s most famous temples would include Pura Luhur Lempuyang – where you can find the famous ‘Gates of Heaven’; Pura Besakih – also known as the Mother Temple; Pura Tanah Lot – famous for the sacred snakes; Pura Luhur Uluwatu – a breathtaking location on a clifftop with resident monkeys and the world-famous kecak dance. Please remember to dress appropriately and behave respectfully at these places of worship. 4. Explore Bali’s Waterfalls Bali is not only about stunning sunsets and sandy beaches. The island is filled with magical waterfalls that will take your breath away. Many of them are located in central Bali in Ubud, Gianyar and Bangli, and also to the north of the island near Munduk and Singaraja. One that is easily accessible via bike or scooter is Tegenungan waterfall. It’s located in Sukawati, Gianyar and is great for beginners and families. Once parked, you can easily get to the waterfall by walking down a set of well-made concrete stairs. Other famous waterfalls to try visit would be Goa Rang Reng, Kanto Lampo, Gitgit, Sekumpul, Nungnung, Tibumana and Tukad Cepung. Do bear in mind that many of these waterfalls aren’t easy to get to and would require quite a trek down a few hundred steps or a hike down a dirt trail. 5. Visit Nusa Penida, Lembongan and Ceningan Bali’s sister islands, Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan are some of the most beautiful places on planet earth, with majestic, jaw-dropping natural surroundings and incredible marine life unique to this part of the world.

Can a Mixed Marriage Couple Buy a Property in Indonesia?
13 June 2022 by Seo ManagerDid you know that once an Indonesian citizen marries a foreigner, they can lose the right to buy or sell freehold property or land in Indonesia? This regulation dates back to the 1974 Marriage Law which states that an Indonesian person cannot retain all assets obtained prior to marriage or assets inherited during the marriage. Indonesian citizens, or Warga Negara Indonesia (WNI) who enter into mixed marriages with foreign nationals are not allowed by law to own a Hak Milik (Freehold) property or land as it will become a joint property asset. Joint property asset in this instance means property purchased by the husband or the wife throughout their marriage. For example, once married, land ownership rights owned by the Indonesian citizen will become a joint property asset also owned by the foreign citizen. As you know by now, foreigners are not allowed to own property in Indonesia under the Hak Milik (Freehold) title; this regulation has been put in place to avoid any foreign spouse from owning Indonesian property through marriage. To avoid complications and according to Indonesian law, mixed marriage couples are encouraged to create a formal prenuptial agreement with a certified Notary. The prenuptial agreement will allow the Indonesian spouse to retain his or her right to buy/sell freehold assets whether land or property. It will also state that the foreign spouse will have no claims or rights over any property that the Indonesian spouse owns. The prenuptial agreement should be drawn up and completed immediately after marriage. Just head to a trusted Notary who will prepare and sign the document for you for a fee. If there is no prenuptial agreement, then the Indonesian citizen would have to release his or her property through sale or grant. If this does not happen within one year of marriage, then the land rights will fall into the hands of the state. You can also explore the possibilities of having a postnuptial agreement if you do not have a prenuptial agreement in place. Do bear in mind though, that any land or property that the Indonesian citizen holds before marriage is unaffected by the marriage and that a citizen is still able to inherit land throughout the marriage. Need more information on prenuptial or postnuptial agreements in mixed marriages in Indonesia? We would recommend that you approach a trusted law firm or a reputable notary of your choice. Remember that Bali Coconuts Living is in no way a legal entity and that we do not provide legal advice or representation. We would recommend that you seek professional counsel with a Notary or a law firm here in Indonesia if you seek further advice on the matter of joint property assets, prenuptial agreements, and postnuptial agreements.
