Most frequent asked questions

In 2021, Indonesia opened most of its sectors to foreign investment. Sectors such as e-commerce or clinics are now eligible for foreign investment. Foreigners can open companies in Indonesia without partnering with Indonesians

For most business activities, you do not need an Indonesian partner. PT PMA allows 100% foreign shareholding.

However, in some sectors, such architecture may require an Indonesian partner. It is important to consult and determine exactly your activity before starting to create your business

PT PMA is a form of LLC (limited liability company) that requires a minimum of two shareholders. Shareholders can be individuals or entities. If you have a company outside Indonesia and want to open a branch, your company can be the main shareholder. The second shareholder can be another entity you own or you as an individual.

The process to open a PT PMA in Indonesia takes 3 days to 1 week. Once the company is open and you have your tax card, you may need some additional approval (example: alcohol licence, import licence, education, etc.)

To open a PT PMA in Indonesia, you need to:

  1. Sign a deed of establishment with a notary. You can use a company to assist you, and you do not need to come to Indonesia.
  2. Get ministry approval from the notary or the person assisting you
  3. Get the tax card of the company (NPWP)
  4. Obtain the business licenses (NIB and PKKPR)Do I need to be in Indonesia to open a company?

It is not necessary to be in Indonesia to open a company. However, we recommend determining the correct structure based on your activity and tax exposure

You do not need to live in Indonesia to open a company. However, the company requires a resident director. You can be considered a resident director if you proceed with your KITAS (limited stay permit) after opening the company. The director of the company will get a personal tax number to be able to declare the tax in Indonesia

Owning a manufacturer or a property in Indonesia is possible under a company. Your company will own the asset, and it will be integrated into your balance sheet. Certain assets in the mining industry will be concessions or a long term lease investments. Foreigners can own a villa, a manufacturer, a boat, a restaurant, or any other asset under a company. The set up of a company allows you to own assets that you would be able to only lease as an individual.
