SLF Extension in Bali — mandatory every 5 years for non-residential buildings.

Your SLF is not valid forever. For commercial villas, restaurants, hotels, shop-houses, and other commercial buildings, renewal is mandatory every 5 years. Do not wait until it expires — we help process it well before the validity period ends.

01 — Validity Period

Validity period rules you need to know.

Based on PP 16/2021 Article 297 paragraph (2).

Residential Building

20 years

SLF is valid for 20 years for residential properties. Still needs renewal after expiry.

Non-Residential Building

Important

5 years

Commercial villas, hotels, restaurants, shop-houses, clinics, sports facilities — mandatory renewal every 5 years. Valid since the first SLF was issued.

Start the process before the validity period ends

Renewal is preceded by periodic inspection & fitness verification, so it takes time. Submit before your SLF validity period expires so the building does not operate without a valid SLF — risking administrative sanctions. The regulation does not set a fixed number of days; what matters is that the process starts early.

02 — Process

SLF extension process via SIMBG.

SLF extension is not merely an administrative renewal — it requires a re-assessment of the building condition to ensure it remains fit for function.

  1. 01

    Check SLF Expiry Date

    We help verify when your SLF expires based on available documents. If old documents are unavailable, we help trace it in SIMBG.

  2. 02

    Building Condition Re-Assessment

    Our team conducts a physical inspection of the building — structure, architecture, MEP, and fire protection — to ensure it still meets fitness standards. If improvements are needed, we recommend the most efficient solution.

  3. 03

    Technical Assessment Report Preparation

    The report is prepared in SIMBG format, signed by an IAI-licensed architect. This document serves as the basis for the SLF extension application.

  4. 04

    Extension Submission via SIMBG

    We submit the application based on periodic inspection and fitness verification, accompany the process at the relevant agency, and provide regular status updates via WhatsApp.

  5. 05

    New SLF Issued

    Once the process is complete, the SLF with a new validity period is handed over to you. Non-residential SLF is valid for 5 years from the new issuance date.

03 — Risks

Risks of letting your SLF expire.

An expired SLF is not just an administrative issue.

Administrative Sanctions

Written warnings, restrictions, up to cessation of building use (PP 16/2021).

OTA Delisting Risk

Platforms such as Airbnb, Booking, and Agoda are beginning to verify the legality of accommodation buildings.

Bank Loan Obstacles

In practice, banks and financial institutions require an active SLF for mortgage disbursement or property collateral loans.

Sale-Purchase Obstacles

In practice, notaries and PPAT require a valid SLF in the property sale-purchase process.
