Legal security
Three legal routes to invest as a non-resident
Indonesian law reserves freehold ownership (Hak Milik) for Indonesian citizens. We structure your purchase through one of the three recognised routes, chosen to fit your project: rental income, holiday home or development.
Hak Sewa
Long-term lease (leasehold)The land is leased for a long period (often 25 to 30 years, with an extension option), registered before a notary. Lower entry cost, simple and quick to set up.
Hak Pakai
Right of use for personal purposesA title registered in the name of a foreigner holding a residence permit, for a home for personal use. Ideal for a holiday home, subject to a minimum price threshold.
Every plot is checked before we propose it: land certificate (sertifikat) verified with the National Land Agency (BPN), zoning, title history and absence of disputes checked, then deeds signed before a licensed land notary (PPAT).

Frequently asked questions
What our clients ask us first
Can a foreigner buy land in Lombok?
Not as freehold: Hak Milik is reserved for Indonesian citizens. A foreigner can, however, invest legally through three routes: a PT PMA company holding the land under an HGB title, a Hak Pakai right of use in their own name, or a Hak Sewa lease registered before a notary. Read: PT PMA or Hak Pakai: which to choose?
Which structure should I choose to rent out my villa?
For commercial use such as holiday rentals, the PT PMA is the standard structure. Hak Pakai is reserved for a home for personal use.
How much do I need to invest to set up a PT PMA?
Since BKPM Regulation 5/2025 of October 2025, the minimum paid-up capital is IDR 2.5 billion per business activity, for a total investment of IDR 10 billion. For tourist accommodation, the land and the building count towards that amount.
What return can I expect in Lombok?
On comparable projects, we estimate a net yield of 11 to 16%, not guaranteed. In South Lombok, a short-term rental is occupied 61% of the year on average, at USD 109 per night (AirDNA, September 2025 – September 2026). Read: Lombok holiday rentals: the figures
How can I be sure the land is clean?
Before any offer, we check the land certificate with the National Land Agency (BPN), the consent of every rights holder, the zoning and the protected 100-metre coastal strip; deeds are then signed before a licensed land notary (PPAT). Read: Is it safe to buy land in Indonesia?
Why invest in Lombok rather than Bali?
Lombok offers more affordable entry prices, beachfront land that is still available and a lower legal threshold to buy under Hak Pakai: IDR 3 billion, against IDR 5 billion in Bali. Read: Lombok or Bali: where to invest in 2026?
