PT PMA Bali Setup 2026 — Foreign Company + Investor KITAS
A PT PMA is an Indonesian foreign-investment company — the legal vehicle that lets foreigners own a business in Bali and qualify for an Investor KITAS (E28A). Our fully-managed formation service is from USD 3,290 (plus official government, notary and OSS setup fees, separate). Setup requires a minimum IDR 10 billion investment plan, KBLI business-line selection, and OSS registration (NIB, NPWP, deed of establishment). Bali Visa Trusted bundles PT PMA formation with your Investor KITAS.

What Is a PT PMA?
A PT PMA — Perseroan Terbatas Penanaman Modal Asing, or Foreign-Owned Limited Liability Company — is the standard legal structure for foreigners who want to own and run a business in Indonesia. It is the foreign-investment version of a local PT, and it is the only company form that allows foreign shareholding in most sectors.
For anyone serious about doing business in Bali — opening a villa-management company, a café or restaurant group, a consultancy, a digital agency, a property venture, or any commercial operation — the PT PMA is the foundation. It gives you a legitimate Indonesian company that can sign contracts, hold permits, employ staff, open corporate bank accounts, and invoice clients.
Crucially for residence, the PT PMA is also the gateway to an Investor KITAS (E28A). By holding shares in your PT PMA and being listed as a Director or Commissioner, you qualify for a residence permit that lets you live in Bali and run your business legally. Company and visa go hand in hand — which is why we bundle them.
Setting up a PT PMA correctly involves a minimum investment plan (commonly cited at IDR 10 billion), choosing the right KBLI business classification for what you’ll actually do, and registering through Indonesia’s OSS (Online Single Submission) system to obtain your NIB, NPWP and deed of establishment. Get the structure or the KBLI wrong and it can block your licences or your visa later. As a licensed agency working with trusted notaries and corporate specialists, Juara Holding Group handles the whole formation — and pairs it with your Investor KITAS.
Company and visa are one project. A PT PMA without the right KBLI can’t get its licences; an Investor KITAS without a properly formed PT PMA can’t be issued. We build both together so they fit.
Who Needs a PT PMA?
A PT PMA is the right move if you are:
- A foreigner who wants to legally own a business in Bali — not a nominee arrangement, but genuine foreign ownership.
- An entrepreneur launching a villa-management, hospitality, F&B, consultancy, agency, retail or services business.
- A property or investment venture that needs a corporate vehicle.
- Someone who wants an Investor KITAS (E28A) — the PT PMA is the prerequisite for it.
- A business owner who needs to employ foreign staff — a PT PMA can sponsor Working KITAS (E23) permits for employees.
- An investor structuring toward larger residence options — a PT PMA can support a route toward the Golden Visa.
You may not need a PT PMA if you are:
- Working remotely for an overseas employer (not running an Indonesian business) → the Digital Nomad Visa (E33G) is simpler.
- Only investing passively at a high threshold → compare the Golden Visa and Second Home Visa.
- Just visiting for meetings or exploration → a Business Visa covers that.
PT PMA Requirements 2026
| Requirement | Detail |
|---|---|
| Company form | PT PMA (foreign-owned limited liability company) |
| Investment plan | Minimum IDR 10 billion investment plan (commonly cited; excludes land/buildings) |
| Paid-up capital | A portion of the investment plan, per current regulation |
| KBLI classification | Correct business-line code(s) for your actual activities; foreign-ownership limits vary by sector |
| Shareholders | Minimum two shareholders (individuals or entities) |
| Directors & Commissioners | At least one Director and one Commissioner |
| Registered address | An Indonesian business address meeting zoning rules for your KBLI |
| OSS registration | NIB (business identification number), NPWP (tax number), deed of establishment |
| For Investor KITAS | Foreign shareholder listed as Director/Commissioner; IDR 10 billion in shares |
Requirements per OSS/BKPM and research sources, 2026. Minimum capital, paid-up capital and foreign-ownership limits depend on your KBLI sector and current regulation; we confirm the exact figures for your business line before you commit — verify against the official OSS system.
The most common — and most costly — mistakes are picking the wrong KBLI (which can cap foreign ownership or block licences) and under-structuring the capital. We get both right at the start, because fixing them later is slow and expensive.
PT PMA Setup Cost 2026 — Transparent Pricing
Our PT PMA formation service is a premium all-in fee; separately, official government/notary/OSS setup costs and the investment capital itself (your money in your company, not a fee) apply. We itemise everything in writing.
| Item | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Juara Holding Group formation service (all-in PT PMA setup) | from USD 3,290 | KBLI, deed, OSS, NIB & NPWP handled |
| + Official government / notary / OSS setup fees | quoted at consultation | Official, separate; paid to the state/notary |
| Investor KITAS (E28A) — bundled | from USD 2,790 | Residence permit; see Investor KITAS |
| Investment plan / paid-up capital | from IDR 10 billion plan | Official requirement — your capital in your company, not a fee |
Our formation service starts from USD 3,290, all-in. Official government, notary and OSS setup fees are separate and quoted at consultation. The IDR 10 billion is an investment plan (your capital deployed into the business, an official requirement) — not a payment to us or the government. The bundled Investor KITAS is from USD 2,790 (its official immigration fees, from ~IDR 17.25M, included). See our pricing page.
All-in service fee; official setup fees and your investment capital are separate. We’re a premium, fully-managed agency — not the cheapest, the most thorough. The right structure depends on your sector and KBLI, so we itemise every component before you proceed.
How to Set Up a PT PMA — Step by Step
- Consultation and business-plan review. Tell us what your business will do. We identify the correct KBLI code(s), confirm foreign-ownership limits and minimum capital for your sector, and send a written quote.
- Structure and shareholders. We set the shareholding (minimum two shareholders), Director and Commissioner roles, and capital structure — aligned to qualify you for an Investor KITAS if that’s your goal.
- Deed of establishment. A trusted notary drafts and notarises your company’s deed of establishment.
- OSS registration. We register the company through the Online Single Submission system and obtain your NIB (business identification number) and NPWP (tax number).
- Licences and address. We secure the business licences your KBLI requires and confirm a compliant registered address.
- Bundle your Investor KITAS. With the PT PMA formed and you listed as Director/Commissioner holding the required shares, we file your Investor KITAS (E28A) — so you can live in Bali and run the business legally.
- Ongoing compliance. We can support annual reporting, tax and licence obligations so your company stays in good standing — and your residence stays valid.
PT PMA + Investor KITAS — Why They’re One Project
The PT PMA and the Investor KITAS are designed to work together, and treating them as one project saves time, money and risk:
- The PT PMA qualifies you for the visa. The Investor KITAS (E28A) requires you to hold IDR 10 billion in shares of a PT PMA and to be a Director or Commissioner. No PT PMA, no Investor KITAS.
- The structure must match the visa. If the shareholding or roles are set up without the visa in mind, you can find you don’t qualify — and have to restructure. We build the company to fit the KITAS from day one.
- One team, one timeline. Running formation and the visa through a single licensed agency means the documents, capital and roles line up, and there are no gaps between “company done” and “visa filed.”
This is the cleanest route for a foreigner who wants to both own a Bali business and live here legally: set up your PT PMA, then convert that into residence with an Investor KITAS — and, in time, progress toward a KITAP.

Frequently Asked Questions — PT PMA Setup
What is a PT PMA in Indonesia?
A PT PMA (Perseroan Terbatas Penanaman Modal Asing) is a foreign-owned Indonesian limited liability company — the legal vehicle that lets foreigners own and run a business in Bali. It requires a minimum IDR 10 billion investment plan, the right KBLI classification, and OSS registration (NIB, NPWP, deed). It also qualifies you for an Investor KITAS.
How much capital do I need for a PT PMA?
The commonly cited minimum is an IDR 10 billion investment plan, generally excluding land and buildings, with a portion as paid-up capital per current regulation. The exact minimum and paid-up requirement depend on your KBLI sector. We confirm the precise figures for your business line before you commit.
Does a PT PMA get me a visa?
Yes — a PT PMA is the foundation for an Investor KITAS (E28A). By holding the required shares and serving as a Director or Commissioner, you qualify for a residence permit to live in Bali and run your business. We bundle PT PMA formation with the Investor KITAS so both fit together.
What is KBLI and why does it matter?
KBLI is Indonesia’s standard business-classification system. Your KBLI code(s) determine which activities your PT PMA can legally perform, the licences you need, and whether — and how much — foreign ownership is allowed in your sector. Choosing the wrong KBLI can block licences or your visa, so we select it carefully at setup.
How long does it take to set up a PT PMA?
Timelines depend on your KBLI, licences and how quickly documents are ready. We give you a realistic schedule at consultation and run the company formation and your Investor KITAS in a coordinated sequence. The Investor KITAS itself is commonly cited at around 40 (priority) to 60 (regular) business days once the company is in place.
