Can western people buy in Batam? are there restrictions?
I hope to buy a property in a non western development not for my own use. Just to have my name on it. Is it possible?

My experience in Indo is that if the property is less than 5 are (1 are = 100 square meters, if I remember correctly) you can own it. If larger, have a competent attorney (very hard to find in Indo) draft a contract where you are owner but an Indonesian (that you trust) is owner on paper only. They cannot do anything with the land without your approval. Good luck.
