PT PMA stands for Perseroan Terbatas Penanaman Modal Asing — a foreign direct investment limited liability company. It is the legally required structure for any foreign individual or entity that wants to own and operate a business in Indonesia.
Without a PT PMA, foreign nationals cannot legally operate a business, hire Indonesian employees, issue tax invoices, or open a corporate bank account. It is the foundation everything else is built on.
Talk to an advisorEvery PT PMA must declare its business activity using KBLI codes — Indonesia's standard business classification. The wrong KBLI can restrict your operations or limit foreign ownership.
We review your business activity against the current Positive Investment List and advise on the right KBLI codes, ownership limits, and any local partner requirements — before you sign anything.

Standard processing is 4–6 weeks from the date we receive your complete documents. Our Premium package offers priority processing at 3–4 weeks. Government portal delays can occasionally extend the timeline by 1–2 weeks — we communicate every update.
No. The entire process can be done remotely. You send documents digitally, sign powers of attorney remotely, and we coordinate everything. For bank account opening, some banks require a physical visit — we advise on this and can arrange accompaniment.
BKPM requires a minimum declared investment of Rp 10 billion (~USD 650,000). This is a declaration of planned investment — not an upfront deposit. It includes assets, equipment, and operational costs over the company's lifetime. We advise on how to structure this correctly.
It depends on your business sector. Since the 2021 Positive Investment List, many sectors are now open to 100% foreign ownership. Some sectors still require a local Indonesian partner. We review your specific KBLI and advise before any commitment.
A PT PMA has ongoing obligations including: monthly and annual tax filings (PPh 21, 23, 25, PPN), quarterly LKPM investment reports via OSS, annual financial statements, and annual shareholders meeting (RUPS).
We offer ongoing compliance support packages to handle all of this. Ask us about compliance retainers when you get in touch.
Yes. The ITAS investor visa is available as an add-on to any package, and included in Elite. You need an active PT PMA with a valid NIB before ITAS can be applied for. We typically begin ITAS in parallel with the final stages of PT PMA formation.
