What is the Pondok Wisata homestay license?

The Pondok Wisata, also referred to as the homestay license in Bali, allows you to legally rent out your property to tourists. The license is required for operating a small-scale short-term rental accommodation business consisting of a guest house or villa.

Once the permit has been issued, it is valid for up to 5 years. It is also eligible for renewal. As a property owner, you must remember to file rental income taxes, even if you have not yet started making income.
