Bali Off Script

Disclaimer

Bali Off Script publishes general information about Indonesian property, immigration and tax rules. It is not legal advice, tax advice, or financial advice, and reading it does not create an adviser relationship.

Indonesian regulations change frequently and are applied inconsistently between regencies and between individual government offices. A rule that held last quarter in Badung may be administered differently this quarter in Tabanan. Figures on this site, minimum property values, capital thresholds, tax rates, visa income requirements, are the ones in force when the page was written, and they move.

Before you sign anything, transfer any money, or rely on any structure described here, verify it with a licensed Indonesian notary or PPAT, an Indonesian lawyer, and a registered tax consultant. Engage your own, not the seller's.

Treat every figure here as a starting point for your own checking rather than a current fact. Indonesian thresholds, rates and requirements are revised regularly.
