Thanks K3C, understood and thanks again for a very timely post. This stuff is all pretty confusing for non legal types.

Thanks for the clarification but now I'm even more confused. Any Company, Indonesian or foreign capital, can only own land with HGB title. You suggested in an earlier post that a PMA should become the beneficial owner in a nominee structure.

"HGB atas Hak Milik"?! i dont think so! that is compeltely impossible.you may mean "Hak Pakai atas Hak Milik", which is very common in bali, and not very useful, in my opinion. it's really no more than a long term lease.

Thanks for that, very helpful as I'm in the process of trying to secure a small pied a terre in Bali at present. As this was explained to me by my lawyer in Jakarta, it was very common in Bali until recently to set up a PMA with the sole intention of buying a property.
