Bali Villa Investment? Don't Skip These 6 Legal Steps!

Buying a villa in Bali for investment (not personal use)?

Skip the setup below, and you're trading illegally—risking everything. Here's my proven roadmap from buying The Hepburn Seminyak and The Monroe Seminyak

      1. Form a PT PMA Company 📋

Nominate 2 directors & hire a lawyer (I used Bali Legals in Seminyak—Maretta's my go-to). Essential for foreign ownership.

      2. Get Your KITAS Investor Visa 🛂

2-year renewable visa. Lawyer handles it—your golden ticket to stay & invest legally.

      3. Hire a Notary for the Lease 🏛️

Cheaper than lawyers, everywhere in Bali. They'll craft a fair lease with the villa owner.

     4. Open a Wise Account 💸

Best for transferring purchase funds from abroad (can't pull Bali income out—trust me, I tried).

     5. Cash sale. You will need the money. There are no loans for this purpose. It is usually done via Asset Sale in your home country 💰

Sell something back home to fund it cleanly.

     6. Set Up a Local Bank Account 🏦

We started with Permata (clunky), switch to Mandiri (better, but no Commonwealth vibes!).

Follow this, invest smart, & build your Bali empire safely.

Personal use? No steps needed.

Follow for critical information if your dream is to own an investment in Bali. 🌴
