Chat with Bali Zero on WhatsAppPHRI Bali has asked regional authorities to make permit handling easier for villas already built in green zones. Deputy chairman I Gusti Agung Ngurah Rai Suryawijaya made the request on 30 September 2026, according to detikBali's report that afternoon. Read the original report.
Rai associated some villa listings with incomplete permits and called for an accommodation carrying-capacity study. His remarks describe an industry proposal. The report does not establish an enacted amnesty, a successful rezoning decision or permission for a particular villa to operate.
Indonesia's official legislation database lists Government Regulation 21/2021 on spatial planning as in force. That is background to the discussion, not evidence that PHRI's request has changed a property's legal status. Official regulation record.
Buyers should assess a property using its current documents and permitted use. Our recommendation is to treat any hoped-for regularisation as unresolved until the competent authority provides a decision applicable to that property.
A seller's reference to the PHRI proposal is not enough to demonstrate that a permit problem can be fixed. This article does not establish a route by which an owner can change an RDTR designation independently, or promise that an application will succeed.
Request the parcel identification, applicable spatial-plan information, building documents and documents for the proposed business activity. Ask an independent qualified adviser to identify which records apply to the exact site and use, and which questions require confirmation from the responsible authority.
Check the operating entity as well as the building. The official OSS portal explains that risk-based business licensing links activities to different permissions and obligations. Use its current guidance for the relevant activity rather than assuming one registration resolves every issue. Official OSS portal.
If a document is missing or inconsistent, record the gap and the authority that must resolve it. Keep a potential price discount separate from the cost, timing and uncertainty of obtaining any outstanding permission.
Before paying a deposit, obtain written answers on the intended use and outstanding approvals. Ask what happens under the contract if a necessary approval cannot be obtained. Verify any claimed new government decision against the actual official instrument.
