For those thinking about living in Indonesia, to be eligible a foreign national must live, work or invest in the country, and and provide “benefit” to the country.

Indonesia has always been  kind to home ownership by foreigners, but previous rules for owning a house and lot was limited to 25 years, and extendable for another 25 years if you met certain guidelines.

Apartment and condominium ownership rules in Indonesia are relaxed and mimic those of the Philippines, however foreigners living in Indonesia cannot spend more that 10-billion rupiah, or approximately $720,000.
