The Indonesian Government Mandates BPJS Membership to Buy Lands and Properties

Starting from 1 March 2022, property buyers have one more item on their to-do list when purchasing properties in Indonesia. Pursuant to Ministry of Land Affairs/National Land Agency Circular Letters (No. HR.02/153-400/II/2022, No. HR.02/164-400/II/2022, and No. 5/SE-400.HK.02/II/2022), buyers must have an active membership in the nation’s social security program or BPJS Kesehatan before they can register the right over land or apartment that they have purchased.

In doing so, the government aims to boost the implementation of BPJS Kesehatan and simultaneously enhance public access to quality healthcare. Thus, going forward, the Ministry of Land Affairs/National Land Agency will verify the status of an applicant’s membership in BPJS Kesehatan before registering any right over land, pending the implementation of an integrated system between the Ministry and BPJS Kesehatan.
