We spend our days fixing what most people get wrong in their first month in Bali.

Bali Zero started in 2019 when Zainal Abidin and Pak Heru — friends for 30 years, partners in business — decided that expats and founders in Bali deserved better than the opaque, overpriced agency model. One staffed with licensed professionals. One that tells you the truth about Indonesian regulation, even when it's inconvenient.

Today we are a team of 18+ across visa processing, company setup, tax compliance, and property due diligence. We file about 50 KITAS and 8-10 PT PMAs per month. We also built Zantara, an AI assistant trained on every regulation we've read, every edge case we've solved, every filing we've made. It drafts. Our licensed team signs.

We write about what we see — regulatory changes, tax traps, property pitfalls — because transparency is how trust is built. Not with slogans.
