Representative Office (KP3A ·
KPPA · BUJKA)
Test the Indonesian market without a full company. A representative office lets you establish a presence and hire staff, with no direct revenue or tax implication.
Overview
What it is
A representative office is a presence — not a revenue-generating entity. It is ideal for market research, liaison and building local relationships before committing to a full company. The right form depends on your sector: trade (KP3A), general (KPPA) or construction (BUJKA).
- KP3A — foreign trade representative office
- KPPA — general foreign representative office
- BUJKA — foreign construction representative office
- Limits — no direct revenue; can hire local staff and a representative
