Bali Property Sourcing bans yield projections, calls on Bali property market to follow
Bali newsBali11 min read
Bali Property Sourcing has implemented a new policy to remove rental yield, occupancy, and projected income figures from all its property listings, including developments it owns. The company is urging other Bali agencies and developers to adopt a similar approach. This change aims to differentiate confirmed property details from future financial estimates, which are based on unverified assumptions about occupancy rates, rental prices, and operating costs. The move comes amid increased scrutiny on property transactions in Bali, particularly concerning ownership structures and documentation, following Regional Regulation No. 4/2026. Bali Property Sourcing will now only include information verifiable through source documents, such as asking prices, land and building areas, lease expiry dates, and payment schedules. Wayan Agus Sugiarsa from Bali Property Sourcing highlighted that a yield forecast involves multiple unconfirmed guesses, including the legality of letting a villa. The company also publishes the Bali Buyer's Guide to assist foreign buyers with information on leasehold structures, nominee arrangements, taxes, and essential documents. Bali Property Sourcing, a real estate agency and buyer's agent based in Badung Regency, plans to maintain this policy and continue advocating for clearer disclosure practices in the Bali property market.

Bali's welcome for tourists comes with important rules for cultural respect, immigration, and road safety
Bali, a popular tourist destination, is known for its cultural generosity but expects visitors to adhere to certain rules. While the "Do's and Don'ts of Bali tourism" list, published by Bali's Governor Wayan Koster in 2023, is not as frequently promoted, its guidelines remain valid. Tourists should pay extra attention to three key areas. First, temple etiquette and cultural respect are crucial, requiring visitors to wear a sarong, sash, and modest top when visiting temples like Uluwatu, Tanah Lot, and Tirta Empul, and to follow staff guidance on photography and restricted areas. Second, immigration laws are serious; tourists must obey visa and stay permit conditions. The Bali Dharma Dewata Task Force has caught many foreigners violating visa terms, including overstays and working on tourist visas. Every foreigner is responsible for understanding and respecting Indonesian law. Third, road rules are important for those hiring mopeds. Both driver and passenger must wear a helmet, drivers need an international driving license covering the motorcycle's engine size, and comprehensive insurance is essential to cover potential incidents.
