Real Estate in Bali - Ownership Structures for Expats
The nominee structure for foreign ownership of freehold land and property in Indonesia is essentially illegal as Indonesian law clearly states only Indonesian nationals can own freehold titles. There are, however, legal alternatives and ownership structures that don't include 'nominees'.
Real estate in Bali can be a very confusing business and real estate agents can add to and compound these confusions with misconceptions and rumours and gossip and a lack of understanding of what their jobs are really supposed to be.
