Foreigners in Bali face unique legal challenges, from visa and immigration compliance to property transactions, tax matters, and business establishment. At The Bali Lawyer, we offer integrated services that cover all these critical areas so you can feel confident and protected.
Our professional team understands Indonesian laws, government procedures, and local practices. Whether you are relocating permanently, setting up a company, or buying your dream villa, we guide you step by step to avoid pitfalls and delays.
Immigration and Visa Assistance
Immigration regulations in Indonesia can be complex and frequently change. Obtaining the right visa is the first essential step to staying in Bali legally. Our expat legal services include:
KITAS (Temporary Stay Permit) application and renewal
KITAP (Permanent Stay Permit) assistance
Business visas and investor visas
Social, retirement, and family visas
Visa on arrival extensions

By working with The Bali Lawyer, you can trust that your visa matters are handled accurately and on time, so you remain in full compliance with Indonesian immigration rules.
Property Purchase and Land Due Diligence
Many foreigners are drawn to Bali’s beautiful real estate opportunities. However, Indonesian law restricts direct freehold ownership by foreigners. There are several legal structures available, but they must be executed carefully to avoid disputes and future legal problems.
Our services for property transactions include:
Conducting due diligence on land certificates, zoning, and encumbrances
Drafting leasehold and Hak Pakai agreements
Assisting with nominee structures while reducing risks
Reviewing and preparing contracts of sale
Handling Notary documentation and official registrations
Before you sign any agreements or make payments, our experienced legal team will review and explain every aspect so you understand your rights and obligations.
Company Establishment and Business Licensing
Setting up a business in Bali, such as a PT PMA (foreign-owned company), requires compliance with regulations issued by multiple government agencies. The Bali Lawyer provides end-to-end support for establishing and licensing your company, including:
Advising the right business structure for your goals
Drafting and notarizing company deeds
Coordinating with the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM)
Applying for necessary operational licenses
Supporting tax registrations and reporting
This comprehensive service ensures your business starts with a solid legal foundation, ready to operate successfully.
Family and Marriage Legal Matters
When expats build families in Bali, they often face cross-cultural and cross-jurisdiction issues. Our family law support includes:
Drafting prenuptial agreements compliant with Indonesian law
Marriage registration and certificates
Divorce and separation guidance
Child custody and inheritance planning
Our legal team ensures your family arrangements are recognized both in Indonesia and in your home country whenever possible.
