Why incorporate your business in Indonesia?

As Southeast Asia's largest economy, Indonesia offers a massive consumer market of over 275 million people. The government has aggressively improved the ease of doing business through the Omnibus Law, which simplified licensing and opened up 100% foreign ownership in key sectors like technology, healthcare, and tourism.

Whether you are setting up a tech startup in Jakarta or a hospitality venture in Bali, establishing a PT PMA gives you full legal protection, the ability to sponsor work visas (KITAS), and direct access to local banking infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions about Indonesian Incorporation

What is a PT PMA in Indonesia?
A PT PMA (Perseroan Terbatas Penanaman Modal Asing) is the legal entity for a Foreign Investment Company in Indonesia. It allows foreign investors to conduct commercial activities and hold up to 100% foreign ownership in most sectors.
Can foreigners own 100% of an Indonesian company?
Yes. Under the recent Omnibus Law and Positive Investment List, most business sectors in Indonesia are open to 100% foreign ownership, removing previous restrictions for many industries.
How long does the Indonesia company incorporation process take?
With the Online Single Submission (OSS) Risk-Based Approach (RBA) system, a Business ID Number (NIB) can be issued instantly. The full establishment, including the Deed of Establishment and Ministry of Law (AHU) approval, typically takes 5-10 business days.
Do I need a local nominee director for a PT PMA?
No, a PT PMA does not require a local nominee. However, the company must have at least one Director (who can be a foreigner with a KITAS work permit or a local) and one Commissioner.
What is the minimum capital requirement for a PT PMA?
The minimum authorized capital is IDR 10 billion (approximately USD 650,000), with at least 25% paid-up capital. However, certain sectors may have higher requirements. Small-scale foreign investments may qualify for reduced capital requirements.
Can I open a bank account for my Indonesian company remotely?
Most Indonesian banks require at least one signatory to be present in person for account opening. We coordinate with partner banks to streamline this process and minimize the time needed in-country.
