Frequently Asked Questions on Building Approval & Functionality: PBG & SLF

Is my existing IMB permit still valid or must it be converted to PBG?

Existing IMB permits issued prior to the new regulations remain legally valid provided no structural modifications, expansions, or functional changes occur. However, commercial operations still require a valid SLF certificate.

Why is the SLF certificate mandatory for commercial businesses in Bali?

SLF certifies that the building meets all fire safety, structural resilience, and public health criteria. Without an SLF, commercial tourism operating licenses, property insurance coverage, and bank collateral approvals cannot be granted.
