Leasehold is a long-term right to use a land plot for a fixed period, with ownership and use rights over the real estate located on it.
Freehold is full ownership of land, which in Indonesia is available only to Indonesian citizens and the state.

For foreigners, leasehold is a legal and standard format for owning property in Bali.

It is important to note that under a leasehold arrangement, the land itself is not purchased, but the right to use it.
At the same time, leasehold grants the owner the same usage rights over the property as freehold, except for the time limitation of the agreement, while being significantly more affordable.

Extension is предусмотрена by contractual practice and is a common market standard in Bali.
The terms of extension are negotiated closer to the end of the lease term and are formalized through a separate agreement.

The owner has the right to:
 • reside in the property,
 • rent out the property,
 • transfer leasehold rights to third parties in accordance with applicable law.

In the event of a transfer, the new party receives the leasehold rights in full, under the terms and conditions of the original agreement, for the remaining lease period.

Leasehold is a legally recognized form of long-term land use, widely used by both foreigners and local residents.
This format lowers the entry threshold, as the right of use is acquired rather than the land itself.
When properly structured, leasehold agreements provide strong legal protection for the lessee.

Freehold is available only to Indonesian citizens or to legal entities, provided that the company exists for the entire ownership period.
For foreign individuals, leasehold is the only legal and sustainable format for owning property in Indonesia.
