> The short answer. Investing in the Kura Kura Bali SEZ — a 498-hectare special economic zone on Pulau Serangan, established by PP 23/2023 and operated by PT BTID — can be handled end-to-end by Bali Premium Trip, an independent investment broker and concierge that originates deals, runs due diligence, and sets up your PT PMA, Golden Visa, and KITAS. We are a broker and concierge, not the asset owner, the zone operator, or a licensed financial adviser — and we never promise returns.
Kura Kura Bali is one of Indonesia’s newest special economic zones, and the only one the central government has publicly positioned toward becoming a financial centre. For an overseas investor, that creates a real opportunity — and a real coordination problem. The land is owned by a single master developer, the incentive regime is new, and the path from “I’m interested” to “I hold a compliant Indonesian asset with the right visa” runs through company law, land law, immigration, banking, tax and notarial steps that don’t exist in most home jurisdictions.
This page explains exactly what Bali Premium Trip does, where we stop, how the end-to-end process works, and how we charge — so you can decide whether you want everything handled by one accountable point of contact.

Who handles your Kura Kura Bali investment, and in what role?
Bali Premium Trip is an independent investment broker and relocation concierge. We coordinate a single, vetted chain of licensed Indonesian professionals — notaries (PPAT), tax consultants, immigration agents, and surveyors — and we manage the whole process on your behalf. We originate and present deals, run independent due diligence, and execute the company, visa and banking setup. The investor always makes the final decision; the licensed partner always signs off on their specialty.
Here is what that means in plain terms — and, just as importantly, what it does not mean:
| We are | We are not |
|---|---|
| An independent broker & concierge coordinating vetted licensed partners | The owner of any Kura Kura Bali land or building |
| Your single accountable project manager from enquiry to handover | The SEZ operator (that is PT Bali Turtle Island Development / PT BTID) |
| A deal-origination and due-diligence partner that works for the buyer | A licensed financial adviser, securities dealer or fund manager |
| A concierge that instructs notaries, tax & immigration professionals | A law firm or a substitute for independent Indonesian legal counsel |
| A real publisher — operated by Bali Premium Trip, part of Juara Holding Group | A guarantor of yields, capital growth, rental occupancy or visa approval |
This distinction is not a disclaimer footnote — it is the whole point. A broker who works for you has no incentive to push a single developer’s inventory. We are paid to find the right asset and to surface the risks, not to move a particular unit.
> Honesty note (dated June 2026): Indonesia’s central government, through Coordinating Minister Airlangga Hartarto, has stated it is finalising regulations to allow a financial centre to be established at the Kura Kura Bali SEZ. As of June 2026 that financial-centre framework is not yet enacted, and there is no standalone Indonesian family-office law. We describe Kura Kura’s financial-centre status as positioned toward / could become, never as a fact that already exists. We will date-stamp this page as the regulations move.

What is the Kura Kura Bali SEZ, in confirmed facts?
Before you invest, you should be able to separate what is legally confirmed from what is promotional framing. Here is the confirmed record, with the official source on each line.
| Fact | Detail | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Legal establishment | Special economic zone (KEK) established 5 April 2023 | PP No. 23/2023 |
| Regional council | Bali SEZ Regional Council formed | Keppres No. 6/2023 |
| Location & size | Pulau Serangan, Denpasar — 498 hectares | PP 23/2023 |
| Operator / master developer | PT Bali Turtle Island Development (PT BTID) | SEZ administrator filings |
| Target investment | ~IDR 104.4 trillion (~USD 6.5–7B) over ~30 years | National SEZ Council (DNKEK) |
| Projected jobs | ~99,853 jobs at full build-out | DNKEK |
| Realised to Q1 2026 | ~IDR 1.62 trillion (~USD 93M); 2,100+ jobs | DNKEK progress reporting |
| Named foreign investors | Mitsubishi Estate (marina, promenade, housing, Grand Outlet Bali); Tsao Pao Chee (TPC) Group, a 4th-generation Singapore family holding (wellness); Pegasus Capital, US (5-star eco-hotel) | Developer & ministry announcements |
| Sister SEZ (medical) | Sanur SEZ — Bali International Hospital live since April 2025 | KEK Sanur / BIH |
Incentives available inside the zone (for qualifying investments, subject to thresholds that the SEZ administrator sets and updates): a corporate income-tax holiday of up to 10 years for investments in the IDR 100–500 billion band, and up to 20 years for larger commitments; VAT/PPnBM and import-duty facilities; and relaxed immigration with faster visa and work-permit processing. Tax-holiday eligibility is investment-size and sector dependent and is decided by the authorities, not by us — we coordinate the application; we do not grant the incentive. (Thresholds stated as of June 2026.)
What is not confirmed: no regulation calls Kura Kura “Bali’s Dubai,” a “Bali DIFC,” or a “family-office zone.” Those are analogies used in the press. We don’t repeat them as fact. For the full entity record, see our hub explainer, [What is the Kura Kura Bali SEZ?](/kura-kura-bali-sez/) and the [financial-centre positioning page](/kura-kura-bali-financial-centre/).

Why use a broker/concierge at all — can’t I buy direct?
You can approach the developer directly. Many investors do, and then discover the friction is not the purchase — it is everything around it. A foreigner cannot hold Indonesian freehold (Hak Milik) personally; ownership structures, leaseholds (Hak Pakai / HGB), a PT PMA company, tax registration, visa status and banking all have to line up before money moves, not after.
A buyer-side broker/concierge changes the dynamic in four ways:
- Independent representation. A developer’s sales team is paid to sell that developer’s inventory. We are engaged by you, so our due diligence can return an honest “don’t buy this one.”
- One accountable contact. Instead of separately briefing a notary, a tax consultant, an immigration agent and a bank — in a second language, across time zones — you brief us once and we orchestrate the chain.
- Sequenced correctly. Company → land structure → banking → visa has a right order. Getting it wrong (e.g. signing before the PT PMA exists, or buying before due diligence) is where money and time are lost.
- Risk surfaced, not buried. Title checks, zoning, building permits (PBG), encumbrances and the developer’s delivery track record are checked before you commit.
We are not the cheapest way to transact, and we say so. We are the way to transact with a buyer-side advocate and a single throat to choke.

Which Bali Premium Trip services cover a Kura Kura Bali investment?
An end-to-end Kura Kura Bali engagement typically draws on four of Bali Premium Trip’s service lines. You can engage one or all four.
1. Investment Brokerage & Deal Origination
We map what is actually available inside the Kura Kura Bali SEZ against your mandate — asset type, budget, hold horizon, risk tolerance — and present a shortlist with the case and the counter-case for each. We are buyer-side: we are not assigned to clear a particular developer’s stock. This is the entry point for most investors and the line that keeps the other three honest.
2. Property Sourcing & Due Diligence
Before you commit, we run independent verification: land title (Hak Milik / HGB / Hak Pakai), zoning and SEZ designation, building permits (PBG/SLF), encumbrances, the seller’s or developer’s standing, and delivery track record on prior phases. The output is a written due-diligence summary you can act on. See [Bali property due diligence](/bali-property-due-diligence/).
3. PT PMA Company Setup Concierge
Most foreign Bali investment is held through a PT PMA (foreign-owned limited company). We coordinate the notarial deed, OSS/NIB business licensing, KBLI classification, tax registration (NPWP) and the capital structure — sequenced so the company exists before any binding purchase. See [PT PMA setup in Bali](/pt-pma-bali/).
4. Golden Visa & KITAS Concierge
We coordinate the right residency rail for your situation — Indonesia’s Golden Visa (multi-year, with published investment thresholds), the Second Home Visa, or an investor KITAS tied to your PT PMA — so your immigration status matches your investment from day one rather than as an afterthought. See [Bali Golden Visa & KITAS](/bali-golden-visa/).
| Service line | What it answers for you | Cited / regulated by |
|---|---|---|
| Investment Brokerage & Deal Origination | What should I actually buy, and why not the others? | Buyer-side mandate (no developer tie) |
| Property Sourcing & Due Diligence | Is the title, zoning and permit clean? Will it deliver? | PPAT/notary, BPN land office, OSS |
| PT PMA Company Setup | What legal vehicle holds the asset compliantly? | Company Law; OSS/NIB; KBLI |
| Golden Visa & KITAS | How do I live and operate here legally? | Indonesian immigration; Golden Visa & Second Home Visa rules |

What does the end-to-end process look like for “handle everything”?
If your instruction is simply “I want everything handled,” this is the path. Timeframes are indicative ranges, not promises — they depend on document readiness, bank onboarding, and government processing, none of which we control.
| Stage | What happens | Who acts | Indicative time |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Discovery call | Mandate, budget, hold horizon, residency goal, risk tolerance | You + BPT | Day 0 |
| 2. Engagement & scope | Written scope, fee basis agreed in advance, no surprises | You + BPT | Days 1–3 |
| 3. Deal origination | Buyer-side shortlist with case + counter-case per asset | BPT (Brokerage) | Weeks 1–3 |
| 4. Due diligence | Title, zoning, SEZ designation, permits, developer standing | BPT + PPAT/notary + surveyor | Weeks 2–5 |
| 5. PT PMA setup | Deed, NIB/OSS, KBLI, NPWP, capital structure | BPT + notary + tax consultant | Weeks 3–8 (parallel) |
| 6. Banking & funds | Corporate account; compliant inbound funds; proof-of-funds | BPT + bank | Weeks 4–8 |
| 7. Transaction | Negotiation, contract review with counsel, signing, payment | You + counsel + notary | Weeks 6–10 |
| 8. Visa & KITAS | Golden Visa / Second Home Visa / investor KITAS filed | BPT + immigration agent | Weeks 6–12 |
| 9. Handover & oversight | Keys, registrations, optional ongoing asset oversight | BPT | Weeks 10–14 |
Throughout, you make every decision and licensed professionals execute their regulated steps. We are the project manager who keeps the chain moving, flags problems early, and reports to you in one place. Independent legal counsel reviews your contracts — we coordinate that review; we do not replace it.

How does Bali Premium Trip charge — and what does it cost?
We quote on scope, in writing, before you commit — so you always know the basis before any work begins. We don’t publish a single headline number because a clean leasehold villa purchase and a multi-asset PT PMA with Golden Visa are different engagements. The framing, however, is fixed and transparent:
- Concierge / project-management fee. A defined fee for managing the end-to-end process, agreed up front against the scope you choose.
- Pass-through third-party costs. Notary/PPAT, tax-consultant, immigration-agent, survey and government fees are billed at cost — we don’t mark up the professionals we coordinate. You see the invoices.
- Brokerage on origination. Where we originate a deal, brokerage is disclosed in advance and you know who pays it before you proceed. We will tell you, in writing, if any commission could create a conflict — and a buyer-side mandate is structured to avoid exactly that.
What we will never do: promise a yield, an occupancy rate, a capital gain, or a “guaranteed” visa approval. There are no guaranteed returns on any property or investment, anywhere — and certainly not in a zone that is still being built. Anyone who guarantees you a return inside Kura Kura Bali is telling you something we will not. Tax-holiday eligibility, visa approval and incentive grants are decisions made by Indonesian authorities, not by us.
—
Who is this for — and who is it not for?
A good fit: an overseas individual, family or company that wants to participate in an early-stage Indonesian SEZ with a buyer-side advocate, values having one accountable coordinator, and understands they are investing in a 30-year build-out, not a finished product.
Not a fit: anyone seeking guaranteed or “passive double-digit” returns, anyone who wants us to act as their licensed financial or legal adviser (we coordinate those professionals — we are not them), or anyone who wants the cheapest possible transaction with no due diligence. For those goals, we are not the right partner, and we’d rather say so now.

Frequently asked questions
Is Bali Premium Trip affiliated with PT BTID or the Kura Kura Bali developer?
No. We are an independent buyer-side broker and concierge, part of Juara Holding Group. PT Bali Turtle Island Development (PT BTID) is the SEZ operator and master developer; we work for the investor, not the developer.
Can foreigners actually invest inside the Kura Kura Bali SEZ?
Yes, through compliant structures — most commonly a PT PMA (foreign-owned company) holding the asset, often combined with a leasehold or Hak Pakai title and an appropriate visa. We coordinate the full structure. Personal freehold (Hak Milik) is not available to foreigners.
Is the “financial centre” / “Bali’s Dubai” status official?
The financial-centre positioning is official — Coordinating Minister Airlangga Hartarto has said the government is finalising the enabling regulations. But as of June 2026 those regulations are not yet enacted, and “Bali’s Dubai” is press analogy, not law. We write it as could become, never is.
Do I get the 10-year tax holiday automatically?
No. SEZ tax-holiday eligibility depends on investment size, sector and SEZ-administrator approval (broadly: up to 10 years for IDR 100–500B investments, up to 20 years for larger, as of June 2026). We coordinate the application; the authorities grant or refuse it.
Can you guarantee my Golden Visa or KITAS will be approved?
No. Immigration approval is the government’s decision. We prepare and file your application correctly and coordinate the licensed immigration agent — we never promise an outcome.
What’s the first step?
A discovery call. We learn your mandate, budget, hold horizon and residency goal, then send a written scope and fee basis before any work begins.
