We compare a Bali villa with a Gold Coast house for the Australian investor in 2026: entry price (AUD 1.17M vs USD 250K), yield (7–13% vs 4–5%), how an Australian legally holds (leasehold, Hak Pakai, PT PMA), the 20% non-resident tax and the credit under the Indonesia–Australia treaty, and moving AUD into rupiah.
Which visa fits a villa owner: visit visas, multiple-entry, investor KITAS and second-home options — costs, terms and practical routes.
Three favourite markets of villa investors compared: entry ticket, yields, ownership form, seasonality and exit — without cheerleading.
