The Company Behind the Permit

A PT PMA is the legal vehicle that lets a foreigner own a business in Indonesia, and the thing the Investor KITAS hangs off.

What the PT PMA actually is

The company is not paperwork around the permit. It is the basis for it, and the KBLI you register decides what you may legally do.

Official government, notary and OSS fees sit outside our formation figure and are paid to the state and the notary. They are quoted at consultation.

IDR 10 billion

KBLI classification

What it takes

Eight things, and the KBLI is the one that shapes the rest.

Company form
PT PMA, a foreign owned limited liability company
Investment plan
Minimum IDR 10 billion, excluding land and buildings
Paid up capital
A portion of the plan, per current regulation
KBLI classification
The correct codes for your actual activities
Shareholders
At least two, individuals or entities
Board
At least one Director and one Commissioner
Registered address
An Indonesian address meeting zoning rules for your KBLI
OSS registration
NIB, NPWP and deed of establishment

Foreign ownership limits vary by sector, so the KBLI is chosen against what you actually intend to do rather than what sounds closest.

What it costs

All in for the formation work. Official government, notary and OSS fees are separate and paid to the state.

How it goes

Five steps, and the first is a conversation about what you will actually do.

  1. 01

    Choose the KBLI

    Against your real activities, and the foreign ownership limits in that sector.

  2. 02

    Structure the company

    Shareholders, Director and Commissioner, and the investment plan.

  3. 03

    Deed and notary

    The deed of establishment, executed properly.

  4. 04

    OSS registration

    NIB and NPWP issued.

  5. 05

    Investor KITAS

    Filed against the finished company, as one project.

With or without the Investor KITAS

Formation only

An owner who lives here

If you intend to live here and run it, the company and the permit are one project. Building them separately usually means rebuilding the company.

Three things founders get wrong

The first one is expensive to undo.

KBLI is not a formality

It controls what the company may legally do, and foreign ownership limits vary by sector. Changing it later is not a small edit.

Talk it through

Official fees are separate

Government, notary and OSS costs are paid to the state and the notary, outside our formation figure.

The permit follows the company

The Investor KITAS hangs off a properly constituted PT PMA. Filing early means filing twice.
