Indonesia remains one of the most attractive investment destinations in Southeast Asia — but a foreign-owned company (PT PMA) must be structured correctly from day one.
Check the Positive Investment List
Before incorporating, confirm whether your business line (KBLI) is open to full foreign ownership, subject to a cap, or reserved for local partners and cooperatives.
Capital and Shareholding
A PT PMA must meet minimum investment and paid-up capital thresholds and have at least two shareholders. Plan the shareholding and any nominee risks carefully.
- Minimum investment value per KBLI per location
- Paid-up capital deposited before licensing
- At least two shareholders, individual or corporate
Licensing Through OSS
Once the deed is approved by the Ministry of Law, the company obtains its NIB and risk-based permits through OSS. Sectoral permits may follow, depending on the business line.
Conclusion
Getting the structure right at the start avoids costly restructuring later. We guide investors through each step, from KBLI analysis to post-licensing compliance.
