Permits & documents
Legal rental package
Пакет легальной аренды · Legal short-term rental stack
Legal short-term rental in Bali is not one "licence" but a stack of documents, each at its own level:
| Document | Level | What it proves |
|---|---|---|
| KKPR with commercial function | plot | tourists may be accommodated here |
| PBG, commercial designation | building | built as an accommodation property |
| SLF | building | fit for use |
| NIB + KBLI 55193 | operator | an accommodation business is registered |
| NPWPD | operator | the 10% local tax is paid |
Since 31.03.2026 platforms remove listings without the package; since 1 August 2026 they do so from tourism-ministry lists (about 1,600 properties in the first wave). Market participants estimated that at the start of 2026 up to ~90% of rented villas did not meet the formal requirements.
For a foreigner on a leasehold the working model is a licensed management company that brings the villa under its NIB/NPWPD and files the returns. Verify this before signing with an operator.
