Title

There are a number of different types of title in Indonesia. Hak Milik (the type of title that resembles freehold title in Australia) can only be held by an Indonesian citizen. Hak Pakai (essentially leasehold title) and other forms of title can be held by a P.T. Company or a P.M.A. Company (Foreign owned investment company) such a Hak Guna Bangunan (HGB).

A non-Indonesian citizen cannot own land in Indonesia. However a foreigner can acquire a leasehold title to a building - almost the same as a strata title except that the title lasts only for 25 years with an extension of 30 years for a maximum of 55 years and then reverts to the original owner (Lessor).
