Many to confuse especially expats about the
posibblity of them to have an equal right

Today Indonesia still hold the Agrarian Laws No 5. Years 1960 as
the principal laws of agraria and it hasn’t amended or replaced by other laws
of agraria .It is stated in Agrarian

So by this Agrarian
Principle Laws No. 5 Years 1960 ,the
foreigner and foreign entities
are eligble to posses the land in Indonesia under
the terms of Hak Pakai ( Right to Usage)
The Hak Pakai or the
Right to Usage is Rights
to use land which owned by the state or private entities
by the agreement with the owner of the land .The agreement must be formed in the deed of conveyance . The deed of conveyance entitles the holder to use the
land by the detail and specific purpose
and terms
Now how about Peraturan Pemerintah (PP)or the government regulations
No 103 Year 2015 about Ownerships of Dwelling about the ownership
of residential house
and occupancy for foreigner whom domiciled in Indonesia.? Is there any principal amendement for foreign
entities regarding its right to posses the land in Indonesia?
To
bring some convenience and legal certainty for foreigner , the president of Indonesia has
signed the government regulation or Peraturan
Pemerintah (PP) No. 22 Year
2015 about the ownership of residential
house and occupancy for foreigner whom domiciled in
Indonesia. But some how the Peraturan
Pemerintah (PP) No. 22 Year
2015 is lower than the Agrarian Principle
Laws No. 5 Years 1960 as Undang undang (UU) or Laws is predominance compare to Peraturan Pemerintah (PP) or Government Regulation . Yet PP No. 22 Year 2015 stated the details of Hak
