Questions we hear most.

Yes. Any foreign national can own a US LLC — no citizenship, residency, or Social Security Number required. You need a registered agent with a US address (we provide one) and an EIN (we help you get one).

1–3 business days in most states. Wyoming and New Mexico are typically 1 business day. Same-day formation is available in select states with our Elite package.

For most non-residents and e-commerce sellers: Wyoming — no state income tax, strong privacy, low annual fees. For startups planning to raise investment: Delaware. For the lowest ongoing cost: New Mexico (no annual report required). We advise on this as part of every engagement.

It depends on your situation. A single-member LLC owned by a non-US person may owe no US tax and have minimal filing requirements if the business has no US-connected income. We advise on your specific situation — at no extra charge.

An EIN (Employer Identification Number) is your company's US tax ID — required for opening a US bank account, setting up Stripe or PayPal, hiring employees, and filing US taxes. We help you get it as part of most packages.

Yes — with your LLC documents and EIN, you can open a business account with Mercury, Relay, or other non-resident-friendly US banks entirely online. Our Premium and Elite packages include banking setup assistance.

PT PMA (Perseroan Terbatas Penanaman Modal Asing) is the standard legal entity for foreign investors in Indonesia. It is required for any foreign individual or company that wants to own and operate a business, hire Indonesian employees, or open a corporate bank account in Indonesia.

Standard processing is 4–6 weeks from the date we receive your complete documents. Priority processing (Premium package) is 3–4 weeks. Government portal delays can occasionally extend the timeline — we communicate every update.

No. The entire formation process can be done remotely. You send documents digitally and sign powers of attorney remotely. For some bank account openings, a physical visit may be required — we advise on this case by case.

It depends on your business sector. Since the 2021 Positive Investment List, many sectors are open to 100% foreign ownership. Some sectors still require a local Indonesian partner. We review your specific KBLI and ownership structure before any commitment.

BKPM requires a minimum declared investment of Rp 10 billion (approximately USD 650,000). This is a declaration of planned investment — not an upfront cash deposit. It represents the total value of planned investment over the company's lifetime, including assets, equipment, and operational costs.

The ITAS (Izin Tinggal Terbatas) is Indonesia's investor visa — it allows you to legally live and work in Indonesia as a PT PMA director or shareholder. It is valid for 2 years, renewable, and converts to KITAP permanent residency after 5 years. You need an active PT PMA with a valid NIB to apply.

US LLC formation starts from $0 (state fees only) with our Basic package, or from $199 with our Standard package. PT PMA establishment starts from $2,350 USD all-inclusive. All pricing is fixed — no hidden fees, no hourly billing.

We accept bank transfer, Wise, and major credit cards. Payment details are provided after we confirm the scope of your engagement. No payment is required before we outline your exact quote and timeline.

Within 24 hours — always. Every message is read by a human and responded to with a specific plan, not a generic acknowledgement. We aim for same-day replies during working hours.

Yes — and many of our clients do exactly this. We handle US LLC and Indonesian PT PMA simultaneously, coordinating the paperwork across both jurisdictions. It is one of the things that makes Accufiler uniquely positioned in this space.

Yes. We offer compliance retainer packages for both US and Indonesia — covering annual reports, tax filings, registered agent renewals, LKPM filings, ITAS renewals, and more. Ask us about ongoing support when you get in touch.
