PT PMA Registration

PT PMA Company

To register a business in Indonesia as a foreigner, you would typically need to establish a PT PMA (Perseroan Terbatas Penanaman Modal Asing) company. This type of company is specifically designed for foreign investors looking to conduct business activities in Indonesia. The PT PMA license is suitable for projects of any size, providing a legal framework for foreign investment. 

Foreign investors can engage in PT PMA registration to set up new companies or acquire existing local companies. The registration process allows them to operate in various sectors such as manufacturing, services, trading, construction, agriculture, and many others, depending on the prevailing investment regulations and restrictions.

It’s important to note that PT PMA registration is subject to specific eligibility criteria, including minimum capital requirements, sector-specific regulations, and compliance with foreign ownership restrictions. The process involves various steps, such as obtaining licenses, and permits, and fulfilling administrative requirements, all of which are overseen by the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) in Indonesia.

FYI (!) The C22A/C22B is a Single Entry Visa, so if you leave Indonesia your visa will be cancelled.

Benefits of Setting Up a PT PMA in Indonesia

With PT PMA allows foreign investors to own businesses in many sectors, offering majority or full ownership, depending on the industry and regulations. This gives foreign investors more control and flexibility compared to local PT companies, which are limited to Indonesian ownership.

With PT PMA can invest in more business sectors than local PT companies, including telecommunications, transportation, healthcare, and e-commerce, which might be restricted for locals. This opens up broader market opportunities for foreign investors in Indonesia.

With PT PMA can receive legal protection under Indonesian law, including for property, intellectual property, and contracts. This framework ensures that foreign investors’ interests are safeguarded and provides access to dispute resolution mechanisms.

To Start PT PMA You Need

  • A minimum of two shareholders.
  • A company name (consisting of at least three words, with each word being at least three letters long) which does not include the words ‘holdings,’ ‘limited,’ ‘corporation,’ ‘company,’ or ‘ltd.’
  • Valid passport photos of the shareholders with at least 30 months of validity (if shareholders plan to obtain Investor KITAS).
  • The PT PMA shares must have a minimum valuation of IDR 10 billion.
  • A company office address, an Indonesian mobile number and a selected business field(s).

Eligibility Requirements

Different business classifications in Indonesia have varying regulations to follow. For certain industries, such as real estate, events, restaurants and fitness centers, 100% foreign ownership is allowed. However, in other fields, a foreign entity must partner with an Indonesian investor.

For example, in the construction business, a foreign entity can own a maximum of 67-70% of the shares, with the remaining shares owned by an Indonesian partner. If you need clarification about the requirements of your industry or whether your selected business type can be owned entirely by a foreign entity, please feel free to reach out to us! We would be more than happy to give you more information.

Frequently Asked Questions

The shareholders of a PT PMA (Foreign-owned Limited Liability Company) are required to meet certain initial capital investment requirements in order to establish and conduct business in Indonesia.

Specifically, the shareholders must comply with a capital of IDR 10 billion (approximately USD 660,000). This investment plan outlines how the company intends to use its capital and resources in its operations.
Yes, Indonesia does have a Negative Investment List (DNI). This list outlines the business sectors that are either closed to foreign investment completely, partially closed with certain conditions, or fully open. The Indonesian government regularly reviews and updates this list to attract foreign investment while protecting certain industries. You can find the latest version of the DNI online or consult with a legal professional for details.
No, a foreign business doesn’t need to register a PT PMA (Foreign LLC) to own a Representative Office (RO). An RO is a simpler structure primarily for market research and promoting the parent company’s products/services. It cannot engage in commercial activities that generate revenue.
The question of ownership representation in a foreign investment company is complex and depends on the specific regulations in Indonesia. While nominee arrangements are flexible in some cases, certain restrictions exist, especially for industries on the Negative Investment List. It’s essential to consult with legal and business professionals familiar with Indonesian law to navigate this issue properly.
