How can an American gain permanent residency in Indonesia?

Travel Tips
If you want a house with your name in the house documents, it will be difficult if you are not the Indonesia citizenship.

If you will stay in Jakarta or other Big city, you can buy an apartment, and stay permanently in there.
Others
As a foreigner you can't gain permanent residency as such. The best you can do is if you marry an Indonesian she can sponor you for a Kitas.
You can't own land or property in your name either irrespective of whether you are married to a local or not.
Marry to Indonesian woman. That's the easiest way.
The above answers are only partly correct. If you form a company under the PMA (Penanaman Modal Asing--"Foreign Investment") statutes, this will allow you to apply for (and get) a KITAS (temporary stay permit, valid for 1 year). You can also get a KITAS by being sponsored by an Indonesian wife but this is more difficult; less difficult if sponsored by an Indonesian husband. After six years of renewed KITAS, you can apply for a KITAP (permanent stay permit). The KITAP is not entirely permanent, but it is renewed every five years. One more thing, all these steps cost money!
Personal experience.
