Invest Islands Arvostelua 

After years of backpacking trough SE-Asia Indonesia attracted me and my girlfriend the most. Due to the crazy housing market in Europe and our love of traveling we searched for a place we can enjoy both. Working in Amsterdam and Living in Indonesia would be a perfect combination.

Our search ended in Lombok and the team of Invest-Islands, far away in the Netherlands and on the internet there are a lot of sketchy articles and stories about land ownership in Indonesia. I had tons of questions and in four months of meetings with Alan our sales contact in Hong Kong I got an answer on all of my questions.

After many hours of meetings Invest-Islands helped us with our business visa's to enter Indonesia in June 2021. After our quarantine period we flew to Lombok and met the team in Kuta.
Piece by piece it started to feel real, the office, the people, cars, visa's, the team was on location and had a real presence in Lombok.
We went to visit the plot with Jack who flew from Bali for us and also he could answer all our questions.

Two days after our visit we decided to buy the plot and sign all the paperwork in Kuta.

Currently we are starting the design process and hope to begin building in the summer of 2022 when the infrastructure has been put in place.

We knew this was going to be an adventure but until this moment (9 months later) I was very very easy. We wonder what bumps are ahead but the whole journey was great so far.

Thanks again Invest-Islands.

I wanna give advice about the best option for having land in Indonesia by foreigners. I can not say that Invest-Islands is a scam, because not take your money for nothing, but they are cheating telling you that the best option to have land in Indonesia is making a company PMA... and this is what happens;

Make a company in Indonesia for foreigners give you RIGHTS for rent land, that´s all. The main reason to make company is to do business, pay tax, have workers... and is not take advantage of the rights, this is the wrong use of the law and maybe today law is flexible, but who knows if tomorrow Indonesian law will realize of the tricky advice for own land from Invest-Islands and you lose the rights of your land.

You don´t need to listen to me, just do your homework before doing this option, check in Real Estate companies in Bali, as houses and land are just rented for expats, for 25 years, which is the only way to own land by expats in Indonesia. Don´t be so arrogant and try to use the Indonesia Agrarian law in bad use, could fail and you could loose your investment. Again... do your homework, ask a notary in Jakarta about the best option and about the tricky use of the law.

If you wanna make a hotel, yes, Invest-Island can help you to find land, but this "Landbanking" that they promote... is not the best option for your interest.

The PMA rights to own land to a company have some issues as you have to build before 3 years in the land and pay tax, and have business in that land, do all the tax accounting, etc and have profits, workers, etc... not as easy as seems. You need to do administration and accounting, if no income and tax... you are using in the wrong way the law... very risk for your investment. Law is flexible today, who knows tomorrow.

In June 2021 the law for PMA (foreign company in Indonesia) changed, the deposit to prove to make a company was 170.000$ to 724.000$. Maybe next month the PMA needs to have a minimum of 10workers, or make income per year for 100.000$... the law is changing and have a company give you some rights that could change tomorrow, and more responsibilities that could change tomorrow

Do your homework, please. Lease is the real and fair way to use the law

I have scouted the property market in Lombok for several weeks before being introduced to Invest Islands team and properties. Aside from the great plot of land we recently acquired, the other main reason behind making the investment was based on the professionalism and trustworthiness of the Invest Island team. Since making the purchase they have been extremely supportive and dedicated to ensure a smooth process from the registration of our PMA to assisting with the development and construction of our project. In business reliability is all, Invest Island is excelling at it. I'm buying more land from them, that says it all.

I invested in my plot after my long standing friend made me aware of the opportunity. As a UK investor, I wanted to widen our portfolio with a diverse investment. With great potential and backed up with a very helpful and professional team. Fraser Gillespie UK

I’ve been involved with Invest Islands for a couple of years now and have made investments on 2 land parcels. The team have been sincere, patient and super helpful in guiding our decision and keeping us informed of all things Lombok.
As an organisation they are doing it right by the community by re-investing back into local infrastructure, education and the people. My wife and I have seen their efforts first hand, met their local employees and appreciate how they set themselves apart.
Good people with great intentions make a great company and we’re happy to be involved.

I was lucky to talk to one of the sales advisors of Invest Islands and invested in a project more than one year ago. Now my investment soars and the rate of return is more than satisfactory. Time and again I get updates about the most recent development in the project. Thanks Invest Islands!

These guys were incredibly helpful in my continuing ambition to get involved with Lombok.

Great team! They are so professional 👍🏻
And it’s a good idea to invest in Lombok. Because in no time, Lombok will be another Bali. And becomes one of the best island with a great wave for surfing, beach, and scenery. You’ll never regret it

Definitely one of the best way to invest in Indonesia.Lombok future value will increase like Bali.

made my dream comes true with beach front, empty surf line up.
